Radio- and X-Ray Astronomy

PD. Dr. Jürgen Kerp

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 galaxies.

The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe

Prof. Dr. Cristiano Porciani

Cosmology, Galaxy Clustering, Dark Matter and Dark Energy, Physics of the Intergalactic Medium, Structure of Dark-Matter Halos and Galaxy Formation.

Stellar Astrophysics

Prof. Dr. Norbert Langer

Research topics include the evolution of single and binary stars, nucleosynthesis, supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, and stellar and circumstellar hydrodynamics.
