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 basic viability of the neutrino-driven mechanism for powering the explosions of the majority of supernova progenitors. Although a number of...

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 the International Space Station in May 2011. With dimensions of 5x4x3 cubic meters and a weight of 7.5 tons, AMS...

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 phantoms in radiation protection and their use for the definition of the different quantities is used for this. The phantoms...

Reconstructing the origin of the Local Bubble and Loop I via radioisotopic signatures on Earth Deep-sea archives all over the world show an enhanced concentration of the radionuclide 60Fe, isolated in layers dating from about 2.2Myr ago. Since this comparatively long-lived isotope is not naturally produced on Earth, such an...

Updates of the ECAP desktop computing system New operating system, new hardware and new IT services for the ECAP desktop computing system will be presented and discussed.

The XMM-Newton surveys of the Magellanic Clouds Using the XMM-Newton observatory, we performed X-ray surveys of the Magellanic Clouds, the two star-forming galaxies nearest to the Milky Way. The images obtained from the EPIC instruments provide a wealth of information about the X-ray source populations in the Small and Large...

Status of Astronomy in East Africa: Focus on Uganda Astronomy and Cosmology are science disciplines that give an in-depth description and analysis of the structures and forms that characterize the universe. Although Astronomy and Cosmology are not yet fully developed in the East African region, several affirmative developments have been...

Status report on IceCube-Gen2 and eROSITA Gisela Anton and Joern Wilms will give us a brief status report on the IceCube-Gen2 and eROSITA projects.

Fundamental Physics studies with X-ray spectral-timing-polarimetry and the eXTP mission

Searching for electromagnetic counterparts to high-energy neutrinos In September 2017, the detection of a high-energy neutrino in coincidence with a flaring gamma-ray blazar revealed the first compelling high-energy neutrino source candidate. At the same time gamma-ray blazars are disfavored as the dominant neutrino source class. Other plausible source candidates are...
