Research focus on astrophysics
Around 35 employees from an international environment work on research questions about our sun and the solar system. We are also interested in other star systems. In particular, the activity phenomena of the sun and sun-like stars and their influence on the earth and other planets in our solar system as well as exoplanets arouse our curiosity.
