Products/services: Research at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics deals mainly with theoretical astrophysics. The main focus are stellar evolution, accretion phenomena, supernova explosions, particle physics, high-energy astrophysics, the evolution of galaxies and large scale structure, and processes in the early universe. Key activities include the numerical simulation of astrophysical systems on high and ultra-high performance computers. Research on stellar evolution and hydrodynamical phenomena in astrophysics is complemented by the investigation of structure formation in the universe, interpretation of observations and the theoretical modelling of the underlying processes. Another important task is the development of algorithms to analyse the data from increasingly large simulations and future observational projects.
