A big thank you also to Martin M. Roth for giving us a quick tour of the Zentrum für Technologieentwicklung (ZTE). I can only say: Very impressive! @uni-hamburg.de

The conference was held in the Synagogue Kulturzentrum; one of the most beautiful buildings I had ever given a presentation. Deutsches Zentrum für Astrophysik congratulations to a great conference!

We also had the opportunity to spend some fun hours together and even show the team parts of the beautiful city of Hamburg @uni-hamburg.de

We also had to say goodbye to two amazing RISE students, Bennett Kirby and Isabel Jackson, who spend the summer in Hamburg working with us on radial mode pulsators and supernova Ia progenitors @uni-hamburg.de

I'm a Professor of Astronomy at the university of Hamburg. I work on compact binaries, LISA sources, Supernova progenitors and large scale surveys.

The second project is offered by my student Eric Stringer and the goal is to do kinematic studies of the known compact sdB+WD systems to understand their Galactic kinematics (thin disc, thick disc, halo).

The first project is offered by my student Corey Bradshaw and the goal is to use TESS data to search for companions of BLAPs and radial mode sdB pulsators by doing timing measurements of the pulsations.

We have two projects in my group. The project descriptions are attached and the links to the applications are given below. Application deadline is November 30th.

I am excited that I am part of the Definition Committee for the Galactic Plane Survey. If you have ideas for a survey strategy to conduct interesting science in the Galactic Plane, we are still collecting pitches or white papers. Just follow the instructions here:

The images show the photometric measurements for this object taken with the Oskar Luehning Telescope. The dips occur when one object of the binary moves in front of the other component which happens on a regular binary period of 39 minutes. Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe

This source is also expected to be directly dected in gravitational waves by LISA - a future large ESA mission measuring gravitational waves from space.

@uni-hamburg.de Master student Paul Teckenburg took data of a gravitational wave source with the Oskar Luehning Telescope located at Hamburg Observatory in Hamburg-Bergedorf. With this data he is able to measure the orbital decay of the system and predict its gravitational wave strength.
