Workgroup of Prof. Dr. Jürgen Stutzki

Research

Main research topics are

1. the dense interstellar medium, its structure, physical and chemical conditions, and
2. astronomical instrumentation for the submm and far-IR spectral range

The following projects are part of the group's effort:

• Astronomy:
  • structure analysis of the ISM
  • PDR-modelling
  • large scale mapping of Galactic molecular clouds and nearby external galaxies
• Hardware:
  • Development: heterodyne mixers and receivers
  • HIFI/Herschel: Band 2 mixers and Wide-Band-Spectrometer
  • SOFIA: GREAT and STAR heterodyne instruments
  • Observatories: KOSMA and NANTEN2
• Software:
  • Observing Software: AOSOBS and kosma_control
  • Heterodyne Instrument Simulator
