This is a concise introduction to modern astrophysics for
physicists, with a focus on galaxy dynamics and the discovery of
dark matter halos in galaxies. Part I summarizes important
discoveries in observational astronomy and astrophysics, in a
manner accessible to those who are new to the topic. Building on
this foundation, Part II describes the study of dark matter and
provides more detail on galactic dynamics. Important physical
concepts that form the basis of key astrophysical phenomena are
explained, avoiding unnecessary technicalities and complex
derivations. The approach is semi-empirical and emphasizes the
importance of key measurements and observations in formulating
fundamental theoretical questions and developing their solutions.
Students are encouraged to develop a deep understanding of major
discoveries and contemporary research topics, beyond the simple
application of practical models and formulae, as a bridge to more
advanced study in astrophysics.
