Webb probes the extreme starburst galaxy M82
Astrophysicists from Heidelberg University will use data obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope of the remarkable galaxy Messier 82 to test their state-of-the-art models of the formation of new stars under extreme environmental conditions. The observations and their analysis have been accepted for publication in the “Astrophysical Journal”.
European Supercomputer Aids Heidelberg Astrophysics
A Swiss-German research team hopes to unlock the secrets of star formation using Europe’s fastest computer – the LUMI-G supercomputer in Kajaani (Finland) run by an international consortium. The researchers have received computing time on the LUMI-G for the required simulations, which will also utilise a newly developed simulation code. Also Heidelberg astrophysicists are contributors to the research. Project partner Prof. Dr Ralf Klessen of Heidelberg University’s Centre for Astronomy (ZAH) also anticipates groundbreaking insights for his own research.
