The MPIA runs a small laboratory
astrophysics facility at the University of Jena headed by F. Huisken.
This group is part of a joint DFG research group "Laboratory Astrophysics". We
are especially interested in the structure of carbonaceous matter in
space, the chemistry of protoplanetary disks, and gas phase spectroscopy
relevant for the explanation of the diffuse interstellar bands and the
infrared PAH bands. We also study nano-meter sized silicon particles
which may serve as an explanation for the Extended Red Emission. |
