Willkommen am Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg (ZAH)


The international conference "Microlensing 2026" (Febr. 23-27) for the first time takes place in Heidelberg and was primarily organized by ZAH scientists. (2026/02/20)

The largest turbulence simulation to date was honoured by the journal "HPCwire" as "Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievements". As part of the core team also Ralf Klessen contributed to this success.(2025/11/20)

16 researchers from Heidelberg University feature on the list of “Highly Cited Researchers” 2025. Dylan Nelson (ZAH/ITA) is one of the five natural scientists among the Heidelberg researchers and his third HCR nomination. (2025/11/12)

The Ernst Patzer Foundation annually awards prizes for the best peer-reviewed publications by young researchers at MPIA and ZAH. This year, Elisa Schösser (ZAH/ARI) is one of the three prize winners. (2025/10/31)

Dr. Natalia Lahén started her new position as Gliese Fellow 2025 at ARI. Her main research interests focus on hydrodynamical simulations of the formation and evolution of stars and star clusters in a galactic ecosystem. (2025/10/01)

Mit seiner neuen Forschungsgruppe verfolgt Dr. Ksoll das Ziel, auf Basis des Maschinellen Lernens Auswertungsalgorithmen für die Erforschung der Sternentstehung zu entwickeln. Die CTS fördert sein Vorhaben mit 1,8 Millionen Euro. (2025/09/23)
