Research groups

The research groups at the Department of Astronomy work in the entire field of astronomical science. The objects of study can be as close as the sun or as far away as the most distant galaxies.

Computational Astrophysics group

At the Department of Astronomy, the development of computational tools spans research areas from solar physics to cosmology.

Solar Physics

The Sun is the nearest star to us, and compared to other stars, can be studied in great detail.

The Galaxy group

At the Department of Astronomy, we use observations from optical to radio wavelengths combined with modelling to understand how galaxies were formed and evolve.

The group for stars, planets and astrobiology

The birth and evolution of stars and planets is of key interest for understanding our universe.

The supernova group

Massive stars can end their lives in giant explosions, so-called supernovae.
