Referent: Prof. Dr. Reinhard Genzel
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Andreas Burkert (LMU)
Nobel Prize laureate Reinhard Genzel is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and honorary professor at LMU. He was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics together with American astronomer Andrea Ghez. In his talk, he will discuss major advances in the study of supermassive black holes at galactic centers, enabled by increasingly detailed, high-resolution observations. These findings not only support the paradigm of massive black holes in galaxies but also allow tests of general relativity in the extreme environment of our own galactic center.
Diese Veranstaltung findet im Rahmen des CAS Schwerpunkts „New Cosmology" statt und ist Teil der Reihe CAS Showcase, in der Wissenschaftler:innen der LMU zum State of the Art ihrer Disziplin sprechen.
