Our colleague from the Department of Astronomy, Professor Kadler, is leading the development of a new telescope on Zugspitze, which will significantly enhance the University of Würzburg’s international reputation in astronomy research. We have the honour to be able to contribute through Tobias Ullmann, who, as the JMU Science Team Lead for UFS activities, played a key role. Additionally, we provided relevant line-of-sight analysis to assist with the site selection for the telescope.
This groundbreaking research by Prof. Kadler has also garnered significant media attention, including coverage by our own University. For more details, please read the full news release here: https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/einblick/single/news/ein-teleskop-der-weltspitze-auf-der-zugspitze/
