Optical and Interpretative Astronomy
- Opinas -
The Optical and Interpretative Astronomy group at MPE and the
Ludwig-Maximilians-University Observatory is led by Ralf Bender. The
research activities of the group are
centered on the structure and evolution of galaxies, and their large
scale distribution, supermassive black holes and the dark components
of the universe, i.e. Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The hardware/software activities involve the
construction of front-line optical and near-infrared instruments to be
used at the VLT, the VST and the HET
telescopes, and software for the automatic reduction of the data. The
education activities through the
link to the Ludwig-Maximillian University count lectures for the
Physics courses, the supervision of Diploma-,
Bachelor-, Master- and Ph.D.-students and the organization of the
IMPRS. OpInAs has close
ties to the associated groups of Ortwin Gerhard (Galaxy
Dynamics), Sadegh Khochfar
(Galaxy Simulations) and
Jochen Weller (Cosmology).
