In the beginning of the 1950's, prof Knut Lundmark at Lund Observatory suggested a stylish Milky Way panaroma in an Aitoff projection of the sky. With support from Hierta-Retzius fond and Kungl. Fysiografiska Sällskapet i Lund, the engineers Martin Kesküla and Tatjana Kesküla painted a metre map showing the galactic coordinates, 7000 stars, and the Milky Way in this very projection. NOTE: This ima

At Lund Observatory we study planets orbiting distant star – exoplanets.  We are particularly interested in the formation of exoplanets in gaseous protoplanetary discs, the stability and survivability of planetary systems and exoplanetary atmospheres. Listed bellow are a few of our ongoing projects. Observing exoplanet atmospheres with state-of-the-art spectrographs Researchers include: Jens Hoeji

The main aim of my research is to unravel the origin and evolution of large spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way. This is best done by by probing and mapping in detail the age, chemical abundance, and kinematical properties of its main structural components. To do this I have utilised different tracers: dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood, red giant stars in the inner and outer regions of the

The Universe belongs us all... or perhaps it belongs to no one. We who study the Universe are always happy to share stories and insight with the public. Here are some examples of what we do: Astronomers always give several talks at the annual NMT days. These talks are aimed at high school students and their teachers.
