Studying and doing research in the Department of Physics and Astronomy
We are delighted to introduce ourselves over the next few pages. Find out more about our institutes, our facilities and units, our degree programs, what our research focuses on and who our partners are as well as the wide range of topics that we present to the general public.
Ein internationales Team von Astrophysikerinnen und -physikern hat bei der Analyse bestimmter Sternhaufen eine rätselhafte Entdeckung gemacht. An der Studie war die Universität Bonn maßgeblich beteiligt. Der Befund fordere die Newtonschen Gravitationsgesetze heraus, schreiben die Forschenden in ihrer Publikation. Stattdessen decken sich die Beobachtungen mit den Voraussagen einer alternativen Gravitations-Theorie. Diese ist allerdings in Fachkreisen umstritten. Die Ergebnisse sind nun in den Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society erschienen.
