Euclid makes dark matter visible
Led by Innsbruck astrophysicist Tim Schrabback, researchers have presented the first mapping of dark matter distribution in a massive galaxy cluster, obtained with the Euclid space telescope. The study provides a preview of the first major cosmological results from the Euclid mission, expected in 2027.
ESA adopts galactic archaeology mission Arrakihs
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Science Programme Committee has adopted the Arrakihs mission. Planned for launch by the end of 2030, Arrakihs will capture the faint light from nearby galaxy haloes. By seeing the unseen, Arrakihs will dig up cosmic history and reveal how galaxies like our own form and evolve.
Sunshade helps in the search for a second Earth
An international research team including Stefan Kimeswenger, astrophysicist at the University of Innsbruck, has tested a new approach to studying Earth-like exoplanets. The idea is to combine a large, earth-based telescope with a "sunshade" orbiting in space.
New FWF Special Research Area on the Dark Universe
