Research
The research at the Chair of Astronomy of the University Würzburg spans several fields of modern Astronomy and Astrophysics and is undertaken in the following groups:
Main research topics:
- Supermassive Black Holes in active galactic nuclei
- Radiation processes in extragalactic jets and other non-thermal objects
- Particle acceleration in non-thermal objects
- Astrophysical sources of high-energy neutrinos
- Interactions of gamma rays with metagalactic radiation fields
- Indirect signatures of dark matter
- Medium-energy gamma-ray space observatories COSI and ASTROGAM
- Very-high-energy ground-based gamma-ray telescopes MAGIC, FACT and LST
- Contributions to future international observatories CTA, SKA, KM3NeT and JEM-EUSO
