This book is intended to be a course about the creation and evolution of the universe at large, including the basic macroscopic building blocks (galaxies) and the overall large-scale structure.

This text covers a broad range of topics for a graduate-level class in a physics department where students’ available credit hours for astrophysics classes are limited. The sections cover galactic structure, external galaxies, galaxy clustering, active galaxies, general relativity and cosmology.

Table of contents:

1 Introduction

2 The Milky Way Galaxy

3 External galaxies

4 Active galaxies, quasars and supermassive black holes

5 General relativity and cosmology
