About us
We study structure formation in the universe on different scales through observations and theory, taking into account details of varous astrophysical processes. Our sophisticated approach allows us to obtain a more precise and realistic view of how stars and galaxies form and evolve than what is presented in the current picture. We use observations with ground- & space-based telescopes acting across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum combined with simulations for this endeavor.
International Collaborations
Science with SKAO
The Square Kilometer Array will soon be the largest radio observatory of the world. As members of SKA Science Working Groups, we study the role of the thermal and nonthermal processes in structure formation and evolution of galaxies.
LOFAR MKSP/SKSP
As members of LOFAR Magnetism and Surveys Key Science Projects, we study low-frequency properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies and investigate the interplay between ISM and star formation.
IRAM-IMEGIN
The IMEGIN project is one of 5 Guaranteed Time Large programs proposed by the NIKA2 collaboration with the 30m IRAM telescope. This project allows us to study dust in galaxies which is important for the formation of molecular gas and stars.
The MIGHTEE Survey
MIGHTEE is an extragalactic radio survey with the South African MeerKAT radio telescope at GHz frequencies. MIGHTEE observations enables us to study star-formation and AGN activity over cosmic time, as a function of stellar mass and environment, free of dust obscuration.
