Fachbuch "The Chaotic Solar Cycle" (Bild: Springer Verlag)

Fachbuch "The Chaotic Solar Cycle" (Bild: Springer Verlag)

Kürzlich erschien im Springer Verlag das Fachbuch The Chaotic Solar Cycle von Arnold Hanslmeier.

Die Sonne ist ein aktiver Stern und die Aktivität der Sonne ändert sich mit einer Periode von etwa 11 Jahren. Dieser Sonnenaktivitätszyklus ist jedoch nicht regelmäßig und an der Grenze zu einem chaotischen Verhalten. Es gab wiederholt Perioden, wo die Sonne über mehrere Jahrzehnte kaum aktiv war und dies bedeutete auch eine leichte Temperaturabnahme auf der Erde. Gegenwärtig sind wir am Beginn eines neuen Zyklus, es wird allerdings vorhergesagt, dass auch dieser wie die beiden vorhergehenden eher flach ausfallen wird.

In dem Buch wird eine Zusammenfassung über das Verhalten der Sonnenaktivität gegeben sowie auf Methoden der Chaostheorie eingegangen und dies wird an praktischen Beispielen demonstriert. Darüber hinaus wird auch gezeigt, wie man die komplexen Dynamomodelle zur Erklärung der Sonnenaktivität auf einfache Gleichungen reduzieren kann und so Aussagen über das chaotische Verhalten der Sonnenaktivität bekommt. Durch die fast 200 Literaturzitate eignet sich das Buch sowohl als Einführung sowie auch als Review und Nachschlagewerk für Forschungsarbeiten.

How Fast Is Ultrafast?

In a recent episode of the podcast Bridge the Gap, Tommaso Mazzocchi and Daniel Werner, two graduate physics students, interviewed Peter Puschnig about ultrafast spectroscopy and his current research. The conversation spans fundamental quantum-mechanical concepts and leads up to state-of-the-art methods for observing electronic dynamics in real time. The episode is titled “How fast is ultrafast spectroscopy?” and is aimed at students and anyone interested in modern physics research.

Accelerated communication with the Kanzelhöhe: solar observatory moves closer to the university

From mid-December, the train journey from Graz to Villach will be reduced to just over an hour. This faster railway connection through the Koralm Tunnel will also bring the Kanzelhöhe Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research closer. Although this unique research station at 1500 metres above sea level is located on the Carinthian Gerlitzen, it has been part of the University of Graz for more than 75 years.

Two Awards for an Outstanding Dissertation

Andreas Windischbacher received two prestigious awards for his outstanding doctoral dissertation. On March 17th, 2025, he was presented with the golden ring of honour of the Republic of Austria by our Federal President as part of the Promotio sub auspiciis Praesidentis rei publicae. On the same day, he was also selected for the Josef Krainer Förderungspreis, whose ceremonial presentation, however, took place later on November 12th, 2025.
