Scientific Rationale
Spectroscopy has a long tradition in Potsdam and is a key method in modern
astrophysical research throughout all wavelengths. Applications range from the
measurements of magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun over detailed
measurements of abundances in stellar atmospheres to
the kinematics of the universe on its largest scales. Spectroscopic facilities
are key utilities on space and ground based telescopes, and future
observational landmarks such as ALMA and the E-ELT primarily focus on
spectroscopic methods.
