Computational Astrophysics (CAST)
Scientists of the Computational Astrophysics (CAST) group, led by Professor Andreas Burkert, are developing state-of-the-art simulations of cosmological and astrophysical phenomena. The focus especially lies on the interplay between the condensation of molecular clouds into stars and associated feedback processes, the link between formation and evolution of AGN and galaxy evolution and their imprint on the intergalactic medium (IGM) or inter cluster medium (ICM).
