Conferences

16–19 December 2019 at MPA, Garching

This is the third of the “B-mode from Space” workshop series. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the science goals, status of CMB polarization projects, foregrounds and mission design, technologies and challenges for the space-borne observations of CMB polarization. The synergies with ground-based/balloon and other cosmological experiments/surveys will be discussed.

3-5 Oktober 2019, Harnack House, Berlin

The goal of this meeting is to bring together a focused group of experts (~40, see below) who are actively working on the circumgalactic medium, from both the theoretical and observational perspectives, to discuss recent advances. more

5-9 August 2019

25. - 30.3. 2019
Schloss Ringberg, Tegernsee (Germany)

This meeting is the 19th in the series of Nuclear Astrophysics Workshops on Ringberg Castle. As in previous workshops, the goal is to bring together scientists from nuclear astrophysics, galactic evolution, and stellar and supernova theory and observations. more

19-23 November 2018, Lorentz Center, Leiden (NL)

Accurate and precise stellar masses, and by implication ages, are not only critical for Galactic archaeology but also for many other fields in astrophysics, from exoplanets studies to the understanding of advanced stages of stellar evolution. The main aim of this workshop is to bring together participants from several fields to discuss and compare the different mass determination techniques used for different types of stars, confront the strengths and weaknesses of all methods, and establish the required level of precision for a wide range of applications.

15-17 October 2018, MPA

The focus of this meeting lies on discussing science results obtained in analysing IllustrisTNG, but some topics beyond these simulations will also be discussed, both from an observational and theoretical perspective. more

8-10 October 2018

A Joint Workshop of the Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Garching, Germany more

23-27 July 2018 at the Harnack-Haus, Berlin

The field of large-scale structure (LSS) is rapidly evolving, and becoming increasingly technical and specialized. At the same time, there is high demand for a new generation of cosmologists to develop model predictions and exploit the upcoming data sets from galaxy surveys. This school aims to provide a focused, in-depth training for this purpose. more

15-20 July 2018

An informal workshop within the D-MeerKAT and D-LOFAR projects.

31 Jan - 1 Feb 2018 at MPA, Garching

We are entering new era of the cosmic microwave background research. Rapid progress in large-scale instrumentation will make it possible to achieve unprecedented sensitivity in microwave band measurements over a large fraction of the sky. There exist great opportunities worldwide: CMB S4 for the ground-based efforts, and LiteBIRD for space, to mention two examples.
