Meet our second speaker for Astronomy on Tap Bonn! Dr. Tim Sprenger 👨‍🚀 is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy 📡 in Bonn. His talk, "Szintillation – Funkelnde Pulsare," will explore pulsar scintillation and the fascinating effects of electromagnetic wave propagation through space 🌌 .Tim completed his PhD at the MPIfR Bonn in 2023, where he studied pulsar scintillation 🛰, and has continued his research there as a postdoctoral scientist 🎓. Before that, he completed his Master's degree in Aachen, Germany, focusing on cosmology🚀. Although he began as a theoretical physicist, his work has since expanded to observations with the Effelsberg radio telescope. Join us on 30 June at 7:00 PM 🕑 at Fiddlers Pub for an exciting evening of astronomy featuring engaging talks, great discussions, and our astronomy pub quiz!

Meet our first speaker for Astronomy on Tap Bonn! Dr. Serena Valtolina 👨‍🚀 is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy 📡 in Bonn. Her talk, "Gravitational Waves 🌊 and How to Find Them," ( in english) will explore how astronomers detect ripples in spacetime using Pulsar Timing Array experiments, which search for tiny gravitational wave signatures hidden in pulsar observations. Originally from northern Italy, Serena completed her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics at the University of Milano-Bicocca before moving to Germany in 2022. She earned her PhD 🎓 at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Wave Physics in Hannover in 2025 and now continues her research in Bonn. Join us on 30 June at Fiddlers Pub at 7pm 🕑f or an exciting evening exploring one of the most fascinating frontiers of modern astronomy.

Welcome our second speaker for the event , Mischa Breuhaus ! 🛰 He completed his PhD in 2022 at the Max-Planck-Institute for nuclear physics ☢️ in Heidelberg, working in gamma-ray astronomy , mainly devoted to the modelling of Galactic gamma-ray sources, but he also gained some experience in gamma-ray and X-ray data analysis 🌌. He stayed one year in Heidelberg as a Postdoc. During his time in Heidelberg, he was a member of CTA, HESS, and HAWC. Afterwards, in 2023, he went for 2 years to Marseille in France where he joined the KM3NeT collaboration working in neutrino Astrophysics 👨‍🚀. Since March this year, he is in Bonn at the Max-PlanckInstitute for Radioastronomie. Stay tuned for his talk on “Jagd auf die Geisterteilchen: Neutrinoastronomie und das KM3NeT-Neutrinoteleskop ” 🔭( in german ) !

Our first speaker for the event is Aditya Tamar 👨‍🚀. He is a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy 🔭. His research focuses on using radio observations as an anchor to perform multi-messenger modelling of blazars ☄️. Before starting his PhD, he had extensively worked in both theory and instrumentation to help developing the science case for next-generation black hole imaging missions from ground and from space 🌌. Stay tuned for his talk on Fly Me To The Moon....Again ! 🌖🌕🌔🌖🌗🌒🌑🌘

Join us for our next Astronomy on Tap 🌌 event on Tuesday, 26th May at 7 PM 🕖 for an astronomy evening featuring our first speaker Aditya Tamar who will give a talk on “Fly Me To The Moon...again” 🌔🌕🌖[in English] and our second speaker Mischa Breuhaus who will present “Jagd auf die Geisterteilchen: Neutrinoastronomie und das KM3NeT-Neutrinoteleskop” 🔭 [in German] Also, dont forget the awesome pub quiz 👨‍🚀 waiting for you ! See you there !

Our second speakee for the event is Prof. Dr. Jennifer Schober 💫 .She studied physics in Heidelberg, where she also completed her PhD in 2014 ⚛️. She then held postdoctoral fellowships in Stockholm and Lausanne, followed by a five years in Switzerland as a group leader, before moving to Bonn (AIfA) in 2025 as a professor . Her research explores astrophysical fluids and plasmas across cosmic time - from the hot, dense plasma of the early universe to stars and galaxies today 🌌. Stay tuned in for her talk ( in german ) - Eine Reise durch das magnetische Universum 🧲.

Our First Speaker is Prof. Dr. Ulrich Klein 👨‍🚀. He obtained his PhD in 1981 while working at the MPIfR. After doing research at the neighbouring astronomical institute, he obtained his habilitation from the University of Bonn in 1987.

He then held a permanent position at the MPIfR in the group of Prof. Richard Wielebinski. In 1989, he obtained a professorship from Bonn University at the Radioastronomisches Institut, which he held until his retirement. The focus of his research has been on the ISM and on galaxies 🌌. Besides research, teaching has always been his biggest passion, which he still enjoys by giving public talks to laymen about the latest discoveries in astronomy 🚀. Over the past ten years, he has collected a large amount of data on galaxies over a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Using the information in the FITS headers, he can produce precise and rather telling overlays onto optical images, which he obtains at his own observatory 🛰 (image on second slide). This will be introduced in his talk Galaxy overlays ( in english ). He will present a bunch of examples from his large collection, including single galaxies, galaxy pairs, groups, and clusters.
