Conferences and Events

The department frequently organizes scientific events to foster collaboration.
 

Low-frequency inertial oscillations provide key insights into the internal structure and dynamics of rotating stars, including the Sun. This workshop unites experts in helio- and asteroseismology, modeling, and data analysis to bridge solar and stellar studies. It aims to foster collaboration and advance the use of these oscillations to probe stellar structure, dynamics, and magnetism.
This meeting is organized as part of the Whole Sun meeting series, which is designed to foster collaboration within the project.

Department Annual Retreat, 11-13 August 2025

We gathered at Kloster Neustadt for a 2.5-day scientific exchange.
Björn Müller receives the Otto Hahn Medal for his PhD work on developing the theoretical foundations of a new helioseismology method.
The PLATO Week is an annual meeting open to consortium members. The 2024 meeting was held at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research.
The Planet Formation and Evolution Workshops gather scientists from star and planet formation, solar system research, extrasolar planets, and astrobiology. The goal is to foster discussion using various approaches, including observations, theory, computing, and lab studies. The 2024 meeting was held at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research. 
The WAVES conference covered a wide range of mathematical and numerical techniques. It brought together mathematicians and physicists of all career stages, including established researchers, postdocs, and students. The conference was hosted at the historic Harnack House in Berlin-Dahlem.
 Yuto Bekki was awarded the Otto Hahn Medal, the Otto Haxel Award, and the Patricia Edwin PhD Thesis Prize for his outstanding research on the theory of solar oscillations in the inertial frequency range. His computer simulations played a key role in discovering and analyzing the Sun's long-period oscillations, significantly advancing our understanding of solar dynamics.
