Philosophy of Astrophysics
This PDF by Nora Mills Boyd, Siska De Baerdemaeker, Kevin Heng, and Vera Matarese is an explication of how the theory and observation balance within astrophysics. Items under discussion include laboratory astrophysics, the problem with the Hubble constant, and also how theory plays a game of give-and-take with observation in stellar population synthesis. Discussions on epistemological lessons extracted from gravitational-wave astrophysics are also present, covering simulation practices, idealisations in computer modeling, and verification of data. Discussing the philosophical implications of observational black hole astrophysics and entity realism in extragalactic studies, it ends with reflections by a theoretical astrophysicist, providing an all-encompassing view into the foundations and methodologies that guide todays astrophysical research.

This educational note coming out of MIT is a resource that gives an in-depth overview on astrochemistry, focusing primarily on the topic of spectral lines and their significance in understanding cosmic entities. The topics included are as follows: Radio Telescope Mechanics Emission/Absorption of Spectral Lines Detection of Stars Detection of Planets Detection of Galaxies. This paper will try to help students acquire more significant knowledge in space science: the processes of chemistry and the principles upon which astronomy observations are based.

Atmospheric Chemistry Graduate Course
It is a graduate course note led by Prof. Jose-Luis Jimenez, and explorations into atmospheric chemistry principles had been quite informative. Some of the topics covered include global circulation, chemical transport, spectroscopy, and some more key atmospheric processes. The note has focused around the chemistry of inorganic nitrogen and acid deposition as well as around the role of aerosols, cloud, and fog chemistry. The program seems to look for making sure students get a profound understanding of complexity in the atmosphere and many other factors that go into its chemistry, especially as it relates to environmental concerns.
