Research projects

Solar Orbiter (SolO) is an ESA space probe dedicated to the study of the Sun and helisophere.

PEPSI during daytime: disk-unresolved solar light is fed to the spectrograph from a small Sun-as-a-star telescope. The upgrade SDI-POL will feed polarised light via two fibers to the spectrograph.

1.5-m optical solar telescope on Tenerife. The telescope is able to resolve 70 km on the Sun.

Low-Frequency Array: A European radio telescope with innovative computer and network infrastructure

Vacuum Tower Telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife

Solar Disk Integrated (SDI) telescope to feed disk-unresolved solar light to the PEPSI spectrograph.

SOLARNET is a European network coordinating and promoting research infrastructures in the field of high-resolution solar physics.

ESCAPE – European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle Physics ESFRI Research Infrastructures

RHESSI was a NASA Small Explorer Mission dedicated to the study of particle acceleration and energy release in solar flares.

The Observatory for Solar Radioastronomy (OSRA) at Tremsdorf was operated by AIP from 1954 - 2007. Observational data and event lists are still available through the OSRA Data Archive.
