Our Universe is expanding, and this goes even faster with time. But the cause of that - the mysterious Dark Energy - is still unknown.
To understand these fundamental processes better, is it important to know the distribution of matter in the universe.
An international team, including CRC members Hendrik Hildebrandt and Anna Wittje is carrying out the „Physics of the Accelerating Universe“ Survey (PAU Survey). This survey aims to map the distance and surrounding of 1.8 million galaxies.
The picture shows roughly half of the sample, with the distance colour-coded - revealing nicely the large-scale structures of the Universe.
These data will help to constrain galaxy parameters which are essential for solving the Dark Energy puzzle.

On October 3, it has become a nice tradition that many doors to companies and institutes are opened with the help of the “Sendung mit der Maus” show, giving children an insight into many exciting areas.
Together with the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy and the AIRUB, we once again took part and were able to offer a varied program. Around 80 children between the ages of 4 and 16 spent a fun-filled day at our faculty with experiments on flying rockets, shining stars, delicious physicist ice cream and much more.
More on the "Maus Türöffner Tag" can be found here.

The official fall workshop of our PIs took place at Volmarstein Castle.
Away from the hustle and bustle of our universities, we worked intensively and focused on the future of our CRC: current projects were discussed and new research questions identified in lively talks, smaller discussion groups and the entire plenary session.
It remains exciting with cosmic interacting matter!

Together with our colleagues of FOR5195 - Relativistic Jets in Active Galaxies we are organizing a splinter meeting at the Annual Meeting of the German Astronomical Society.
This year, the annual meeting will be hosted at the University of Cologne from September 09-13, 2024.
Our joint splinter meeting comprises all aspects of multi-messenger AGN research to understand the processes which produce electromagnetic radiation, neutrinos and cosmic rays.
With this approach, we will foster discussions on the physical properties, interaction mechanisms and evolution of AGN as well as how AGN influence and shape their environment.
For more information, please have a look at our meeting's page!
