A new era in multi-messenger astronomy With the recent discoveries of gravitational waves and high-energy cosmic neutrinos, we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in Multi-Messenger astronomy. The […]
Overview of Athena and the Wide Field Imager The Advanced Telescope for High-Energy Astrophysics will be ESA's next large X-ray observatory. While the launch date (2028) seems far, the community […]
SVOM - Space-based multiband astronomical Variable Objects Monitor The Chinese-French space mission SVOM (Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor) is mainly designed to detect and localize Gamma-Ray Burst events (GRBs). […]
Survival in galaxy clusters: from ultra-diffuse to ultra-compact objects The diversity of low-mass cluster galaxies in terms of their size and stellar content is striking. So-called ultra-diffuse galaxies residing in […]
Dark matter searches with gamma rays The Fermi Large Area Telescope has during its almost 10 years of mission time revolutionized our understanding of the gamma-ray sky. It enabled, e.g., […]
News from the ECAP laboratory Kay Graf and Stefan Funk will report on the status of the ECAP laboratory building.
3D core-collapse supernova modeling and applications to Cas A and other supernova remnants First three-dimensional, first-principle simulations of core-collapse supernovae have become possible in the recent past. They demonstrate the […]
Latest results from the AMS experiment on the International Space Station The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a detector designed for precision spectroscopy of cosmic rays that was installed on […]
Radiation Protection Dosimetry: Phantoms and measuring quantities In this talk the concept of the radiation protection quantities will be explained. An overview about the different types and different applications of […]
