Dear Followers,
we have decided to leave X and therefore end our activities on this platform.
Thank you for following us over the past years! We will remain active on Instagram: https://t.co/3L1hNgqUxT so make sure to follow us there!

Goodbye from the #remeisfamily

We're doing a #calendar #giveaway! Follow,
like this post or comment what is the most significant discovery in astronomy over the last 20 years, in your opinion. The deadline is 16/12/2024 (Monday), 11:00 CET. 6 winners will be selected from all the participants on X and Insta

Not only a night for astronomical observations but also virtual reality simulations, scientific talks and much fun: The #OpenDay at the observatory has been a success with almost 900 visitors. It was a pleasure to share our observatory with all of you #theobservatory #Bamberg

was completed in 2023 at the observatory! Next to an outstandig thesis, the award also recognized several achievements such as publications and obtained observation time. After completing his PhD at FAU Matti is now a PostDoc with our friends in Potsdam.

Congratulations to Dr. Matti Dorsch! At the annual meeting of the German Astronomical society in Cologne he was awarded with the Doctoral Thesis Award 2024. Mattis thesis titled Tracing the diversity of hot subdwarf evolution Surface composition, magnetic fields, and populations

Dr. Martin Mayer and Christian Kirsch, among others, presented their work at eROSITA Conference in Munich.

Throwback to a busy summer at Remeis 🏖️
In June, the the Greek island Crete hosted Supernova Remnant III conference, where Prof. Dr. Manami Sasaki, as an invited speaker, reviewed X-ray SNRs in nearby galaxies, while Federico Zangrandi (PhD student) talked on the SNRs in the LMC.

Remeis members actively participated in the annual meeting of the Astronomical Society of Germany (AG 2024) in Cologne.

On Friday, Ole König from #theobservatory successfully defended his PhD Thesis titled “X-ray observations of accreting compact objects” where he studied the nova YZ Reticuli in the fireball phase, and timing features in the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1. Congrats, Ole! 👏🏼

[Dr. Karl Remeis-Observatory @DrRemeis]

Congratulations from #theobservatory to Dr. Dominic Bernreuther. Amazing discussion on BScan a #MachineLearning approach to detect bubble like structure in the #ISM.

[Dr. Karl Remeis-Observatory @DrRemeis]

This model allowed her to better constrain the relativistic reflection mechanism occurring in the accretion disks surrounding these enigmatic objects.

Congratulations to Julia Häfner from #theobservatory for successfully defending her master thesis! Julia tested RELXILLLPALPHA to model X-ray spectra coming from AGNs.

[Dr. Karl Remeis-Observatory @DrRemeis]

With eROSITA we now have the unique opportunity to study very large and old supernova remnants. Even in our Galactic neighborhood we are able to find new SNRs that could contribute to the "missing SNR problem" when extended to the entire sky.

[Dr. Karl Remeis-Observatory @DrRemeis]

J. Knies from #theobservatory published an exciting new paper on Monogem Ring SNR. J. Knies and collaborators studied the so-called Gemini Monoceros X-ray enhancement and they were able to discover two new supernova remnant candidates. https://t.co/bK3lDlVh3o

[Dr. Karl Remeis-Observatory @DrRemeis]

The study shows, that the supernova remnant candidates are very old, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 years, and located very close to us.

[Dr. Karl Remeis-Observatory @DrRemeis]

The #Remeis #observatory is actively involved in @eROSITA_SRG science. Many members of the #observatory are studying SNRs, diffuse ISM,X-ray binary, AGN and ultra-luminous #Xray sources. Check-out the press release on @UniFAU site: https://t.co/OOwM7m4af3

Impressive view of the #Xray sky with #eRASS1. #eROSITA provides us a lot of data for new exciting science.

[@MPE_Garching @MPE_Garching]

This #eRASS1 animation shows the #Xray sky as seen by #eROSITA. The X-ray bands are colour-coded according to their energy (red: 0.3-0.6 keV, green: 0.6-1 keV, blue: 1-2.3 keV). And a number of prominent sources have been highlighted. 4/9

Members of #theobservatory are very happy to announce that the first #eROSITA data release has taken place today! Head to arXiv to check out all the fascinating new science the @eROSITA_SRG instrument has facilitated! This is only the beginning of a new era in X-ray astronomy.

[@MPE_Garching @MPE_Garching]

🥳Ta-dah! The @eROSITA_SRG consortium has unleashed the colossal first #eROSITA #AllSkySurvey #eRASS1 data release #eROSITAdr1 with a record-breaking 900,000 cosmic sources & ~ 50 scientific publications. Get ready for a cosmic revolution and dive in➡️1/9
