[Prins]

Hi
I have done my m.Sc
now I'm interested in the field of astronomy
but there were no subjects regardind astronomy in my masters course work
I'm thinking of going into a PhD
So I wanted to check aa the topics and get myself to the level to do PhD

so please suggest some books

As introductions to astrophysics, I recommend "Foundations of Astrophysics" by Barbara Ryden and Bradley M. Peterson,

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321595580/?tag=pfamazon01-20,

and

"An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics" by Bradley W. Carroll and Dale A. Ostlie,

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0805304029/?tag=pfamazon01-20.

Clear the base
Read as much as you can
Look for B.Sc and Masters in the specialized field
