Time in astrophysics

Our project seeks to explore enigmas of astrophysics related to the concept of time, including the discovery of transient events in the distant Universe. Specifically, we aim to shed light on what astrophysical structure formation can teach us about the flow of time, as well as questions regarding the age of the Universe and the formation of galaxies after the Big Bang. We will investigate whether these questions reflect fundamental problems with our cosmological world model or if they can be explained by complex astrophysical processes. Our research will rely on observations obtained through modern satellites and telescopes, and we will analyze large amounts of data using high-performance computers. Our diverse team values creative thinking and an inclusive work environment.
