Main Research Fields

Star formation...

  • Multi-wavelength time domain astronomy: How does protostellar high-energy emission impact protoplanetary disks and the initial conditions of planet formation?
  • Bridging the gap between Galactic and extragalactic star formation science: Which properties of the interstellar medium govern the physical onset of star formation and thus the star formation rate in clouds?
