 +
 +
 +[[http://www.thphys.uni-heidelberg.de|Our institute]] is part of the [[http://www.physik.uni-heidelberg.de/welcome_e.html|Physics and Astronomy Department]] of the University of Heidelberg. Here at Heidelberg, we work together with the University's [[http://www.ita.uni-heidelberg.de/|Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics]] located in our neighborhood and with the [[http://www.mpia.de/Public/menu_q2.php|Max Planck Institute for Astronomy]]. We are also part of the [[http://www.darkuniverse.uni-hd.de/|Transregional Collaborative Research Centre TRR 33 - The Dark Universe]], which has been recently extended to 2018. We are also fully involved with the European projects [[http://sci.esa.int/euclid/|Euclid]] and [[http://sci.esa.int/planck/|Planck]].
 +
 +**Cosmology-related work is also done  in the groups of:**
 +
 +[[http://www.thphys.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php?lang=e&n1=bsm_group|Prof. Arthur Hebecker]] and
 +[[http://www.thphys.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php?lang=e&n1=particles_group|Prof. Jörg Jäckel]].
 +
 +For more cosmology in Heidelberg, see:

 +===How to get here===
 +
 +[[http://www.thphys.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php?lang=e&n1=institute&n2=venue| see instructions]]
 +
 +===Research===
 +
 +Our research focuses on:
 +
 +  * [[darkenergy|Dark Energy and Modified Gravity]]
 +  * [[altmodels|Inhomogeneous cosmological models]]
 +  * [[lensing|Lensing of standard candles]]
 +  * [[cmb|Cosmic Microwave Background]]
 +  * [[inflation|Inflation]]
 +  * [[darkmatter|Dark Matter]]
 +  *  [[forecasting|Forecasting future experiments]]
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +In addition, our group developed [[http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0302138|cmbeasy]], a versatile Boltzmann code for the comparison of cosmological models to observations.
 +
 +===Helping Thum's family===
 +
 +On 15.04, Thum (Suttiluk Othatawong) passed away. He was PhD in our group. We are all shocked and saddened by this tragic event. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
 +
 +The Thai Embassy in Berlin has set up a bank account to contribute to the expenses of Thum's family:
 +
 +The Royal Thai Embassy AC/4
 +IBAN : DE06 1007 0000 0439 1363 00
 +BIC : DEUTDEBBXXX
 +Verwendungszweck : Suttiluk OTHATAWONG
 +
 +Please put Thum's name in "Verwendungszweck" so they would know exactly that the transaction is meant for Thum's family.
