Solar Physics and Stellar Connections
Dr. Juan Manuel Borrero
Die Sonnenmagnetismus ist ein zentraler Fokus am Institut für Sonnenphysik. Die Sonne wird dabei in die Atmosphäre untersucht. Die Arbeit beinhaltet theoretische und experimentelle Studien. Die Sonnenatmosphäre wird mit speziellen Sonnenteleskopen erforscht.
Science Data Centre
Dr. Peter Caligari
The Science Data Center (SDC) conducts research in the field of solar data analysis and supports the serviceto store, access, analyse and archive solar data produced by a heterogeneous group of scientific instruments.
Dept. Observatory & Instrumentation
Dr. Jozef BrulsThe Department for Observatory and Instrumentation consists of the two research groups Solar Telescopes and Scientific Instrumentation. They carry out fundamental and applied research and operate solar observing facilities.
Solar Telescopes
Dr. Rolf Schlichenmaier
The group Solar Telescopes develops and operates facilities for solar observations. The main task of the group are the German Solar Telescopes GREGOR and the Vacuum Tower Telescope at the Teide Observatory on Tenerife.
Scientific Instruments
Dr. Jozef Bruls
The group Scientific Instruments develops opto-mechanical systems for Earth-bound solar telescopes, balloon-borne telescopes, and for space experiments.
