His main scientific interests and work were in solar physics.
Each spring, near the date of Svein Rosseland's birtday, the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics arranges a guest lecture by an internationally renowned astrophysicist as a remembrance for our great astrophysicist Svein Rosseland (1894-1985), founder of our institute. The lecture is open for everyone.
