Current research
Solar and stellar physics:
- Convection and turbulence in the Sun and in stars
- The solar corona and chromospherre
- Particle acceleration and solar flares
Star formation
- What determines the initial mass function?
- What determines the star formation rate?
- What determines the star formatin efficiency?
Planet formation
- How did our solar system form
- Where did the short-lived radioactive isotopes come from?
- How did chondrules form?
- How did planets form?
- Can the presence of planets be deduced from stellar spectra?
Plasma physics
- What are the mechanisms behind gamma-ray bursts?
- How do shocks in supernova remnants work?
- How and where are cosmic rays accelerated?
