Description

Frank Bertoldi

Mm/submm Astronomy

Star formation, galaxy evolution, ISM in galaxies, observational cosmology

Juergen Kerp

Radio- and X-ray astronomy

The scientific interest of the group is focused onto two very different wavelength regimes. However, the combined analysis offers a wealth of information about the physical conditions of the objects of interest, ranging from the Milky Way to active galact

Uli Klein

Galaxies: Structure and Kinematics; Magnetic fields: Interstellar and Intergalactic

Galaxy structure, kinematics,

Interstellar and Intergalactic magnetic fields

Pavel Kroupa

Astrophysics of Stellar Populations, Dynamics and Dark Matter

Stellar populations, star formation, IMF, brown dwarfs, binary systems, dynamical evolution of star clusters, dense stellar systems, galactic dynamics, satellite galaxies, dark matter

Norbert Langer

Stellar Astrophysics

Research topics include the evolution of single and binary stars, nucleosynthesis, supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, and stellar and circumstellar hydrodynamics. To visit the group home page, follow the link with "More" on the menu.
