Planet formation

We use computer simulations to study how dust and pebbles clumped together to form planets in the Solar System and beyond.

Gaia

The Gaia satellite is an ESA mission surveying over a billion Milky Way stars, with the ultimate goal to trace the origin and evolution of our Galaxy.

Extreme astrophysics

Extreme astrophysics concerns the formation and evolution of black holes, neutron stars and compact binaries.

Galactic formation theory

We study galaxy formation and evolution through hydrodynamic simulations.

How the Milky Way formed

We aim to produce reliable spectroscopic and photometric observations against which models of galaxy formation can be accurately tested.

Atomic astrophysics

Atomic astrophysics integrates atomic physics, astrophysics and plasma physics.

Stellar atmospheres

The study of stellar atmospheres is the basis for all stellar spectroscopy. Our research aims at understanding the physical processes underlying stellar spectra.

Exoplanet dynamics

We use computational models to study the stability, survivability and habitability of extra-solar planetary systems.
