Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium, location: Online Video Conference Titel: Multi-messenger observations of cosmic collisions: progenitors, relativistic ejecta, and remnants Speaker: Prof. Alessandra Corsi, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, USA The births and mergers of neutron stars and black holes, the most exotic objects in the universe, can launch the fastest […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) Speaker: Prof. Guido Müller, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Hannover) Since their first detection, gravitational waves (GW) have become a major part of current and future plans to study the universe. The current ground based observatories opened […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: The nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way Speaker: Dr. Rainer Schödel, Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía – CSIC, Granada, Spain The Galactic Centre region is dominated by the nuclear stellar disc (NSD), a rotating structure with a radius of ~200 pc that is […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: Exploring the Impact of Intrinsic Properties on Shocks and Variabilities in Relativistic Jets Speaker: Prof. Zakaria Meliani, Observatoire de Paris Relativistic jets in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are fascinating astrophysical phenomena that emit non-thermal radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum and display diverse characteristics […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: Astrophysics and fundamental physics with LISA observations Speaker: Dr. Stanislav Babak, APC, Paris The sky is bright in gravitational waves in the milli-Hz band. We expect emission from millions of inspiralling white dwarf binaries in our Galaxy, merging massive black holes, stellar-mass black holes […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium. Title: Past, present and future of Hungarian radio astronomy Speaker: Dr. Viktor Toth, Eötvös University, Budapest Drawing the history of Hungarian radio astronomy, one may in principal start with the successful Moon radar measurements in 1946, but at least with the HI 21cm measurements of […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: New Physics at the Pulsar Timing Array Frontier Speaker: Prof. Dr. Kai Schmitz, University of Muenster Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) collaborations around the globe recently announced compelling evidence for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) at nanohertz frequencies. This breakthrough achievement has important implications for astrophysics, […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: Binarity and dynamics of open clusters Speaker: Dr. Vikrant Jadhav, AIfA Binary stars play a vital role in astrophysical research, as the majority of stars are in binaries. I will discuss the photometric identification of binaries in open clusters along with their cluster membership. […]

Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy/Argelander Institute for Astronomy Main Colloquium Titel: Is Dark Matter made up of Primordial Black Holes? Speaker: Prof. Günther Hasinger, German Center for Astrophysics in Görlitz, University Dresden The cosmic X-ray background radiation has been almost completely resolved into discrete objects, mainly from the growth of massive black holes in the […]
