Homepage of Friedrich Kupka

     Hello and welcome to my homepage !
    

Research and teaching

• My main research interests


• Observational astronomy experience


• Teaching experience


• A very short CV and publication lists

Conferences, networks, and projects I am involved in or collaborate with

(see also at main research interests)

Present activities

Space mission for stellar astrophysics and exoplanet research

• The French (CNES) led COROT satellite mission (data collection has ended, but data interpretation is still in progress)
  (the original CoRoT website at CNES has been deactivated, but this alternative link is permanently available)


• The Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium (KASC)
  (as the KASC website is primarily for users of their data, see also the STSCI archive and NASA's site for more information)
  KASC performs asteroseismological research with data from NASA's Kepler mission
  (continued as K2 mission, data collection has ended, but data interpretation remains in progress)


• The TESS Asteroseismic Science Consortium (TESS) which performs
  asteroseismological research with data from NASA's TESS mission
  


• The PLATO Cosmic Vision M3 Mission of ESA

Scientific computing and astrophysical databases

• Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC) projects (research projects: p70081, p70708, p70950)


• The Vienna Atomic Line Database (VALD)


• The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC)

Related projects I am interested in

• The Canadian led MOST satellite mission
  (the original webpage at http://most.astro.ubc.ca/ has been removed, but archived versions are still available)


• The Austrian BRITE-Constellation nano-satellite mission

Past activities

• HELAS and its predecessor ENEAS (European Network of Excellence in AsteroSeismology)
  (the original ENEAS web site is no longer available)


• LRZ project SOLARSURF (pages 32-33 in the 2012 volume)


• DEISA project SOLEX (DEISA has been the predecessor of PRACE, the original DEISA page has been deleted)


• IAU Symposium 224


• Ringberg Workshop on Interdisciplinary Aspects of Turbulence (link no longer active)


• IAU Symposium 239 of the XXVI General Assembly of the IAU


• IAU Symposium 252 (link no longer active)


• Symposium 7: Grand Challenges in Computational Astrophysics which took place as part of JENAM 2008


• Workshop on Turbulence and Hydrodynamical Instabilities, as part of the activities of the Excellence Cluster Universe


• Progress in Understanding the Physics of Ap and Related Stars: JD 4 of the XXVII General Assembly of the IAU


• DFG Priority Programme MetStröm, SPP 1276/1+1276/2
