Rheinische – Friedrich Wilhelms - Universität

Argelander Institut für Astronomie (AIf. A) Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander a pus bazele Astronomiei in Bonn (1836). El a fondat observatorul "Sternwarte" in "Poppelsdorfer Allee", in 1845. Radioastronomia ce a cunoscut mari progrese si aparitia unor noi discipline au condus la fondarea unor noi institute: "Radioastronomisches Institut" (1962), "Institut für Astrophysik und Extraterrestrische Forschung" (1964) si "Max-Planck. Institut für Radioastronomie" (1966).

In 1973 cele 3 institute s-au mutat in cladirea aratata in fotografiile urmatoare. In ianuarie 2006 s-au unit sub numele Institutul Argelander pentru Astronomie.

Observatorul Hoher List 1952 -1954 a fost construit un nou observator, “Hoher List”, in regiunea muntoasa Eifel, aprox. 100 km SV de Bonn. Instrumentele din “Sternwarte” au fost mutate la Hoher List.

Satelitul a fost lansat pe 30 iunie 2001 Rezultatele WMAP: - prima hartă completă a radiaţiei cosmice de fond pe întreg cerul (<1°) - existenţa energiei întunecate; - s-au calculat valori mai precise pentru densitatea materiei întunecate. - a determinat precis vârsta Universului, perioadele de tranziţii şi geometria spaţiului

Anizotropiile radiaţiei cosmice de fond WMAP 5 – al cinci-lea an de măsurători – 7 martie 2008 A realizat cea mai recentă hartă a CMB ce provine din orice direcţie cosmică, la rezoluţie de cca. 0, 0002°. Temperatura medie actuală este de 2, 725 K. Culorile reprezintă anizotropiile: regiunile roşii sunt mai reci iar cele albastre sunt mai calde.

Gravitational Lensing

HOLIGRAIL Project In the HOLIGRAIL (HOher LIst GRAv. Itational Lensing) project we use the 1 m Telescope at Hoher List Observatory to monitor multiplylensed quasars aiming at the determination of time-delays between the different light paths. These can be used to study the individual radial mass profile of the lensing galaxies, or -from a larger ensembleto constrain the Hubble Constant H 0. This programme has been inspired by the COSMOGRAIL (the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAv. Itational Lenses) project. Apart from our scientific goals, the H 0 LIGRAIL project comprises a technical upgrade of the 1 m Telescope and the introduction of a new lab course experiment, performing and analyzing H 0 LIGRAIL data, which is now part of the advanced lab course in Physics at Bonn University.

Master Thesis Project Superviser: Prof. Dr. Urlich Klein, AIf. A Project: Gas and Dark Matter Properties of Dwarf Galaxies Plan: - Observations with Isaac Newton Telescope - La Palma (17 th-18 th of October) - Data reduction and analysis - Interpretation

Gas and Dark Matter Properties of Dwarf Galaxies Master Thesis project Abstract We propose to perform deep broadband (B, r, i) and H alpha imaging of four isolated dwarf galaxies with giant HI disks. Owing to their unusually large HI disks, these objects are ideal to study both the dark matter distribution on galactic scales as well as possible gas accretion. These galaxies have recently been observed in HI at th e WSRT (project R 07 B 009) and the proposed INT-WFC observations will allow us to accurately determine the distribution of the stellar mass component of the target galaxies, a prerequisite for assessing their dark matter content.

Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes The Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING) operates the 4. 2 metre William Herschel Telescope (WHT), the 2. 5 metre Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) and the 1. 0 metre Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope (JKT) on behalf of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) of the United Kingdom, the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO) of the Netherlands, and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain. The ING is located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain.
