Meet Aline Rangøy Brunvoll: A doctoral research fellow at RoCS taking on solar mysteries.

– Astronomy is inherently fascinating, and I believe its intrigue deepens as you delve into the details, says Akhil Lasrado, new Ph.D. fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics.

Semya Amouche Tønnessen joined RoCS with a strong foundation in computational science and practical experience in solar research.

Today, the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS) celebrated its 7th anniversary as a Centre of Excellence, commemorating seven years of groundbreaking research and global collaboration in solar physics.

For two weeks, both ground-based and space telescopes collaborated to capture the evolution of an active region, providing unprecedented insights into our Sun.

Solar researchers at RoCS have come closer to finding an answer.

- My name is Prasanta Gorai and my research focuses on the impact of evolved stars on galactic chemical enrichment.

The ESA-led Solar Orbiter has detected the largest solar flare of the cycle, highlighting the importance of observing the Sun from all sides to improve space weather forecasting.

Cosmologist Johannes Røsok Eskilt is awarded the Fulbright Article Prize for Young Researchers 2024 for his revolutionary work in astrophysics.

ESA’s Solar Orbiter has linked solar wind measurements with high-resolution images of the Sun’s surface, enabling solar physicists to trace the origins of the solar wind more accurately.

The University of Oslo annually awards five prizes for research, young researchers, education, dissemination, and innovation.

- My name is Elisabeth, and I’m from Os. I am pursuing a joint PhD between RoCS and the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

The sixth annual report of the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS) was published on April 1st. With 61 individuals from 19 different nationalities across three continents, the researchers at this Center of Excellence continue to maintain a high pace.

REAL art artist Laila Kongevold, geologist Henrik H. Svensen, and RoCS PhD candidate Mats Ola Sand invited students and researchers to a printmaking workshop.

Receiving recognition for years of dedicated work is a significant milestone in any career. RoCS' Postdoctoral Fellow, Nicolas Poirier, shares his reflections on what it means to him.

His exposure to RoCS came through various courses, summer projects and supervision, creating a foundation that sparked his interest when RoCS announced openings for PhD positions.

He wants to advance his understanding of the workings of the energetic Sun. Meet Sascha Ornig from Austria, RoCS newest team member.

Meet Fan Zhang, our new RoCS Postdoctoral Fellow, who is striving to improve the modeling of the solar atmosphere.

Three scientists at RoCS are out with new scientific papers concerning the Sun. 

Two young scientists at RoCS' had their first and their last paper published this summer. 

– I am fascinated about the use of machine learning in different fields and its applications for society in the future, says Dennis Fremstad, new Ph.D. fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics.

Thanks to close-up images of the Sun obtained during Solar Orbiter’s perihelion passage of October 2022, solar physicists have seen how fleeting magnetic fields at the solar surface build up into the solar atmosphere

Rosseland Centre of Solar Physics (RoCS) got 167 million CPU hours to study the Sun.

RoCS's scientists have published six papers during the summer months. 

The frenchman Quentin Noraz has come to Oslo to work on the WholeSun ERC project; an European collaboration to better understand the functioning of the Sun.
