Astronomical Observatory ZRiFK

Welcome

The Department of Radioastronomy and Cosmic Physics is a unit within the Astronomical Observatory of the Jagiellonian University which coordinates research and teaching duties of its members.

Research focuses on:

  • observations and modelling of magnetic fields in galaxies and cluster of galaxies
  • numerical MHD simulations of galaxies
  • theoretical investigations of primordial magnetic fields and fields on the largest cosmic scales

Observational investigations are based on projects performed with the largest radioastronomy instruments in the world (e.g. VLA, GMRT, 100-m telescope in Effelsberg, etc.).
