Research Groups

We perform magnetohydrodynamical simulations of star-forming regions, disk galaxies, and planet formation in binary systems.

We apply theory and observation to explore phenomena such as particle acceleration, magnetic fields, and structure formation in the Universe.

We develop our radiative transfer code PHOENIX for simulations of stellar and planetary atmospheres. These models can then be used to assist observational projects or to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes.

We study galaxy formation and evolution and explore cosmology using observations from a variety of ground-based and spaceborne telescopes.

We develop instruments such as spectrographs for the observation of stars and planets.
