Zentrum für Astronomie
Zentrum für Astronomie of the University of Heidelberg
The Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg (ZAH) is the largest university astronomy group within Germany. The ZAH was established in 2005 by joining the former state institutes Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ARI) and Landessternwarte Königstuhl (LSW) with the Institut für Theoretische Astrophysik (ITA) of Heidelberg University. The broad spectrum of scientific activity ranges from research in planet formation and galaxy evolution to cosmology including the development and building of astrophysical instrumentation. [more]

European MERAC Prize for the best Early Career Researcher awarded to Dr. Elisabetta Caffau
The 2013 MERAC Prize of the European Astronomical Society (EAS) for the Best Early Career Researcher in the field of observational astrophysics was awarded to Dr. Elisabetta Caffau for the discovery of a chemically very primitive, old low-mass star in our Galaxy. Three MERAC Prizes are awarded by the EAS every year in the fields of theoretical astrophysics, observational astrophysics and new technologies, instrumental or computational astrophysics. Dr. Caffau works in the Galactic Archaeology Group at the Landessternwarte Königstuhl (LSW) which is part of the Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg (ZAH). In 2010, she was awarded the first "Gliese Fellow Grant" established by the ZAH. (29.04.2013)
