I am Professor for Astronomy at the Hamburger Sternwarte
(observatory), which is part of the Department of Physics of
the University of Hamburg.
I served as Dept. Chair from 01/2014 until 12/2015, as Deputy
Dept. Chair for 3.5 years and as Managing Director of the
observatory for 3 years.
My main area of research is the modeling of stellar and planetary
atmospheres using computer simulations with our PHOENIX
code. This is a large scale supercomputing application, my
group regularily uses large parallel supercomputers that can be
found in the top 10 of the world's fastest supercomputers. My CV
is available as PDF file and I also have
a list of publications available (PDF,
infrequently updated, please use ADS for up-to-date information!).
I am a member of the Lothar Collatz
Center for Computing in Science. My group has often
opportunities for Bachelor & Master theses in the field of
theoretical and computational astrophysics, please contact me for
more information.
Vorlesungsinfos
Im SoSe 2022 halte ich die Vorlesungen "Einführung in die Astronomie II"
(für Studierende in einem BSc. Studiengang der MIN) und "Sterne, Galaxien, und das Universum" (für Hörer aller
Fakultäten),
sowie das Seminar "Moderne
Probleme der Stellarastrophysik"
und das Proseminar "Moderne
Probleme der Stellarastrophysik" sowie die Spezialvorlesung
Theorie und Praxis von Phoenix (Vorkenntnisse sind unabdingbar erforderlich!). Eine Anmeldung zur Vorlesung und den Seminaren ueber Stine ist
zwingend notwendig, Vortraege im (Pro)Seminar koennen nur nach erfolgreicher
Anmeldung in Stine vergeben werden (alles total voll, sorry!). Details
werde ich ueber Stine emails an die angemeldeten Studierenden verschicken.
Astronomy program information
Please check out the web
pages of the observatory for a FAQ
list.
My main research interests are (not necessarily in this order):
(More information can be found on the PHOENIX
homepage)
- 3D radiative transfer algorithms and their implementation.
- continue the development & verification of PHOENIX/3D.
- The atmospheres and spectra of novae, M dwarfs & giants,
Brown Dwarfs, L/T dwarfs, T Tauri's, SNe, basically everything
that radiates.
- Irradiation of planets and secondaries of CVs
- Analyses of Nova, M/L/T dwarf & giant, Brown Dwarf, T
Tauri, and SN spectra.
- The detailed physics of nova spectra, in particular line
blanketing and NLTE effects.
- Numerical methods for NLTE and radiative transfer
calculations.
- Line formation, blending and blanketing in (relativistically)
expanding atmospheres.
- Radiative transfer in relativistically expanding, spherical
atmospheres.
- Detailed NLTE calculations for extremely large model atoms.
- Effective numerical methods to treat 100's of millions
spectral lines individually with detailed profiles.
- Molecular line opacities.
- Line broadening in very cool stars.
- Finishing the next versions of the M/L/T-O dwarf and nova
model grids.
- Models for Stellar Winds
- Keeping PHOENIX/1D and PHOENIX/3D alive and happy (currently
at version 18.5 with a host of new and beautiful arcan bugs!).

My friend and long time collaborator France Allard has passed away.
Here are a few thoughts.
