We study the interstellar medium and the star-formation processes, both in the Milky Way and other galaxies.
The observations are made with the telescopes of the European Southern Observatory (e.g. the VLT and NTT optical/near-infrared telescopes and the APEX and ALMA radio telescopes) and other ground-based radio telescopes (e.g. Effelsberg, IRAM, JCMT, and TRAO). Data from space-borne instruments also play a central role. These include data from past satellite missions (e.g. the Planck, Herschel, and Spitzer satellites) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
The main topics of the research
Numerical modelling of stellar convection and magnetic fields in local and global geometries, aiming at understanding the observed magnetic activity ranging from the Sun to our observational targets.
The main topics of the research
The research concentrates on understanding the formation and subsequent evolution of galaxies primarily using numerical methods. The main topics include:
