Prof. Frank Bigiel received a ERC Consolidator Grant to investigate the matter cycle in galaxies. The approx. 1.7 million euros in ERC funds supported the project over a five-year period (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/726384). A thorough understanding of the processes regulating the conversion of gas into stars is key to understand structure formation in the universe and the …

Dynaverse PIs have leading roles in the NRW Cluster for data-intensive Radio Astronomy B3D (www.b3d.nrw/en). The “Big Bang to Big Data” cluster combines radio astronomical research with data science expertise. Radio astronomical data streams are made available to science and industry to develop and test new algorithms. The goal is to synergistically improve the understanding and processing of these …

Astrophysics is a strong scientific tie between both Universities. The collaboration is documented by five, more or less successive CRCs, which have provided a major input to the strategic development planning of astrophysics at both Universities. The SFB 956 (www.sfb956.de) “Conditions and Impact of Star Formation – Astrophysics, Instrumentation and Laboratory Research” just ended in December 2022, …

Within the CRC 1601, researchers are investigating the physical processes that determine the habitats of massive stars in different galactic environments. Due to their short lifetime and high energy output, massive stars drive the evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Therefore, they contribute substantially to shaping the present-day Universe. Habitats are the gaseous environments in …
