Probing Particle Physics with IceCube The IceCube observatory located at the South Pole is a cubic-kilometre optical Cherenkov telescope primarily designed for the detection of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. IceCube became fully operational in 2010 and reached a milestone in 2013 by the first observation of cosmic neutrinos in the TeV-PeV...
Prof. Heber will present the FAU contributions to the APPLAUSE digitization project of astronomical photo negative at the Collegium Alexandrinum. More on the project in our News Item and at the Collegium's page.
On the difficulties to derive reliable CNO abundances in hot massive stars Though low in number, massive stars play an essential role in the early and present Universe, due to their enormous energy output and production of metals. Moreover, the end-products of massive star evolution are among the most spectacular...
