Willkommen am Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg (ZAH)


Dominika Wylezalek wurde zum 1. März 2025 zur neuen Professorin am ZAH und Direktorin am ARI ernannt. Dort wird sie die Forschungsgruppe „Galaxy Evolution and AGN (GALENA)“ leiten. (2025/02/24)

With its sky-scanning phase completed and "retirement” orbit imminent, the ARI team is saddened by the forced break in contact. But there are great data products on the horizon. (2025/01/16)

Prof. Dr. Michela Mapelli (ZAH/ITA) has been appointed to the "Henriette Herz Scouting Program". She now has the opportunity to recommend scientific talents from abroad for a Humboldt Research Fellowship in Heidelberg. (2025/01/08)

To investigate the formation of dormant black holes which are part of a binary star system with a companion star, Prof. Dr. Michela Mapelli (ZAH/ITA) receives a research grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG). (2025/01/07)

Eva Grebel (ZAH) received the teaching award from the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Heidelberg University. (2024/12/06)

The Ernst Patzer Foundation is awarding the best refereed publications by young researchers at MPIA and ZAH. This year, Brooke Polak (ITA) and Jose Eduardo Mendez-Delgado (ARI) are among the awardees. (2024/11/30)
