Physicists at FAU involved in a European project to create an open science cloud
Nowadays, a lot of people use clouds – services which are available entirely online. Photos can be saved and shared with others, music and videos downloaded or documents worked on together. What benefits could a cloud s...
For more than 100 years astronomy has used photography to explore planets, stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects. At the end of the 1980s, digital receivers almost completely replaced the classic photographic plates. Thanks to their lifetimes of more than 100 years, the latter are above all...
IceCube is a cubic-kilometre sized neutrino observatory. It detects high-energy neutrinos with 5160 photo-sensors that are installed in the deep ice at the South Pole and record the weak flashes of blue light signalling a neutrino reaction.
On September 22, 2017, IceCube issued a public alert to th...
This year, the ECAP summer fair celebrated its tenth anniversary, in the decades-long tradition of this event dating back to its origins in the Physics Institute. On 11th of July, the research, administrative, and technical groups of ECAP and Physics Institute came together for scientific exchanges,...

On Monday, 8th of January, 2018, Prof. Dr. Manami Sasaki, Professor of Multi-wavelength Astronomy at ECAP gave her inaugural lecture on "Shocks and Collisions: The Turbulent Life of Matter in Galaxies".
Manami Sasaki studied physics at the Ruprechts-Karls-Universität Heidelberg. She received her do...
Das „Schaufenster Ozean“ präsentiert von 21.4. bis 10.5. 2017 in Erlangen Unterwasser-Videos als Beitrag zum Wissenschaftsjahr 2016*17 – Meere und Ozeane
Die Stadt wird farbenfroh – und nein, es ist ausnahmsweise nicht der Frühling gemeint. In Erlangen können bald leuchtende Korallen und quietschbu...
We congratulate our Post-Doc Jannik Hofestaedt to he award of first best poster presented at the XVII International Workshop on Neutrino Telescopes 2017 in Venice, Italy.
With his poster ‘Event reconstruction in the KM3NeT/ORCA detector‘, Jannik presented the details of his highly performant shower...
Like last semester, we are organizing again an observing night with the gamma-ray telescope FACT which will take place Wednesday 18.1.2017 in STRL 307.
We will start at 18h and operate the telescope via internet from Erlangen. We are planning to order pizza during the evening.

This year's Xmas lecture of the Department of Physics will be on the Star of Bethlehem. ECAP astronomers from Remeis-Observatory will discuss the different theories that have been brought forward to explain this phenomenon, including close planetary conjunctions, comets, or even stellar explosions. ...
