Welcome to the Chair of Astronomy
Our research follows a multi-wavelength approach, where we collect and evaluate data from different wavelength regimes (especially soft X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, near infrared, as well as long wavelength radio emission). The key is that we analyze these data together, which gives us much better access to many astrophysical phenomena than a single-wavelength observation can do.
Overview of our main research topics:
- Starbursts, galactic winds, galaxy halos, bulges, SFH, disk structure
- Galaxy groups, interacting and merging galaxies, stellar streams, satellite galaxies
- Massive stars, transients , stellar feedback, circumstellar nebulae, (super-) bubbles, DIG, HIM
- Massive stars, LBVs, stellar transients, circumstellar nebulae, runaway stars, resolved stellar populations
- Starbursts at medium/high redshift, metal-poor galaxies, galaxy formation, AGN-Populations, IGM
- LOFAR, LUCI, 3D-NTT, OMEGACAM, MONET
- Data mining, machine learning
