An international team led by Nikolaus Sulzenauer and Axel Wei\u00df from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) used data from the Atacama Large Millimeter\/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to shed light on this open question of galaxy formation. They studied one of the most spectacular galaxy aggregations, expected to be the birthplace of an elliptical galaxy, in great detail. The team discovered enormous, shock-heated tidal debris around a group of 40 galaxies rapidly falling toward a common center.

Our simulations must therefore accurately incorporate the primary target line emission, the star-formation tracer [CII] 158\u00b5m at the end of the epoch of reionisation (3.5 < z[CII] < 8.2 for FYST\u2019s 210-420GHz range), as well as the foreground CO and [CI] contaminant signal (0 < z < 6).

galaxy evolution. To better understand their structure and strength, we use data from the GLObal view on STAR formation (GLOSTAR) survey to investigate magnetic fields in the plane of the Milky Way. Our study focuses on the Faraday effect - quantified by rotation measures (RM) towards background polarized radio sources to construct the first C-band RM grid. The small channel width in wavelength squared (~1.5 to 5 cm2) at C-band makes it well suited for identifying polarized sources with extreme RMs (~3000 rad m-2 at a channel width of 200 MHz), which would likely be completely bandwidth depolarized in lower-frequency surveys. GLOSTAR's higher frequency coverage also significantly reduces depolarization effects from foreground Galactic turbulence, enabling us to probe previously obscured, dense regions of the Galaxy."},{"id":3384,"link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/next-astronomy-on-tap-event-in-cologne\/","name":"next-astronomy-on-tap-event-in-cologne","thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/25_05_Astronomy-on-Tap-Koln.png","alt":"AoT 2025_05"},"title":"Join us for the next event of Astronomy on Tap K\u00f6ln","postMeta":[],"author":{"name":"admin","link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/author\/admin\/"},"date":"Apr 29, 2025","dateGMT":"2025-04-29 09:39:26","modifiedDate":"2026-02-10 14:24:20","modifiedDateGMT":"2026-02-10 13:24:20","commentCount":"0","commentStatus":"closed","categories":{"coma":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/events\/\" rel=\"category tag\">events<\/a>","space":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/events\/\" rel=\"category tag\">events<\/a>"},"taxonomies":{"post_tag":""},"readTime":{"min":1,"sec":4},"status":"publish","excerpt":"Every month, Astronomy on Tap K\u00f6ln brings you fun and enlightening talks in German and English!

These processes shape the circumstellar medium (CSM) into complex structures, including cavities. When a massive star explodes as a supernova (SN), the resulting shock wave expands into this non-uniform medium, generating bright X-ray emission. As a result, X-ray observations of SN remnants (SNRs) provide insights into the stellar evolution of a progenitor massive star and the interstellar medium (ISM) nearby."},{"id":4994,"link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/vortrag-von-tim-eric-rathjen-in-der-volkssternwarte-koln-am-14-03-25\/","name":"vortrag-von-tim-eric-rathjen-in-der-volkssternwarte-koln-am-14-03-25","thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Das-Babyfoto-des-Universums.jpg","alt":"Das-Babyfoto-des-Universums"},"title":"Das Babyfoto des Universums - Tim-Eric Rathjen (Volkssternwarte K\u00f6ln, 14.03.25)","postMeta":[],"author":{"name":"admin","link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/author\/admin\/"},"date":"Feb 28, 2025","dateGMT":"2025-02-28 11:53:26","modifiedDate":"2026-02-10 14:27:55","modifiedDateGMT":"2026-02-10 13:27:55","commentCount":"0","commentStatus":"closed","categories":{"coma":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/public-outreach\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Public Outreach<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/science\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Science<\/a>","space":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/public-outreach\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Public Outreach<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/science\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Science<\/a>"},"taxonomies":{"post_tag":""},"readTime":{"min":0,"sec":30},"status":"publish","excerpt":"Die kosmische Hintergrundstrahlung wird oft als das \u201eBabyfoto\u201c des Universums bezeichnet.

Unlike a human fingerprint, the molecular fingerprint also reveals physical properties of the molecules' surroundings. The temperature of the astronomical regions can be determined by comparing the relative intensities of different transitions of a molecule. In an ideal case, the transitions belong to different vibrationally excited states of the molecule. Therefore, analyzing also the rotational spectra of vibrationally excited states, the so-called vibrational satellites, in the laboratory is important. However, due to the higher vibrational energy, their population usually is very much lower compared to the ground vibrational state making it harder to find their patterns in the spectrum."},{"id":5472,"link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/ein-radioteleskop-zum-selberbauen-urs-graf-markus-rollig\/","name":"ein-radioteleskop-zum-selberbauen-urs-graf-markus-rollig","thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mrao_ami_lba_ryle.jpg","alt":"Radioteleskop"},"title":"Bau eines Radioteleskops - Urs Graf & Markus R\u00f6llig (15.\/16.02.25, Physikalischer Verein Frankfurt)","postMeta":[],"author":{"name":"admin","link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/author\/admin\/"},"date":"Jan 31, 2025","dateGMT":"2025-01-31 13:07:00","modifiedDate":"2026-02-10 14:28:25","modifiedDateGMT":"2026-02-10 13:28:25","commentCount":"0","commentStatus":"closed","categories":{"coma":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/public-outreach\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Public Outreach<\/a>","space":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/public-outreach\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Public Outreach<\/a>"},"taxonomies":{"post_tag":""},"readTime":{"min":0,"sec":57},"status":"publish","excerpt":"Nach einf\u00fchrenden Vortr\u00e4gen in die Astronomie und die Besonderheiten der Radioastronomie, sowie der dazugeh\u00f6rigen Messtechnik, widmen wir uns dem Bau eines einfachen Radioteleskops.

In the afternoon, several workshops took place, one of which involved participants building their own insect hotels. This Thursday, a total of seven insect hotels were put up around the physics department of the University of Cologne.\nInsect hotels provide shelter and nesting facilities for a variety of insects during winter. Introducing insect hotels can help with pollination and ecosystem diversity."},{"id":4674,"link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/the-evolution-of-our-universe-lindau-nobel-laureate-meeting-blog\/","name":"the-evolution-of-our-universe-lindau-nobel-laureate-meeting-blog","thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241102_205115_486-e1750932991579.jpg","alt":"Prachi Prajapati"},"title":"The Evolution of Our Universe - Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Blog","postMeta":[],"author":{"name":"admin","link":"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/author\/admin\/"},"date":"Nov 7, 2024","dateGMT":"2024-11-07 10:16:54","modifiedDate":"2026-02-10 14:34:06","modifiedDateGMT":"2026-02-10 13:34:06","commentCount":"0","commentStatus":"closed","categories":{"coma":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/articles\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Articles<\/a>","space":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sfb1601.astro.uni-koeln.de\/category\/articles\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Articles<\/a>"},"taxonomies":{"post_tag":""},"readTime":{"min":7,"sec":22},"status":"publish","excerpt":"As a school kid growing up in India, I was interested in science in general.
