Helle Bakke, second year Ph.D. student of the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics, is the winner of the "Audience choice" award at this year's PhD poster session.

The European Solar Telescope (EST), a new 4 meter class solar telescope to be built in the Canary Islands (Spain), will help solar researchers to discern the ultimate details of reconnection at the finest spatial scales thanks to its superb spatial resolution. 

Since April 2019, Carlos Quintero Noda is a new postdoc of the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS). His aim? To become a better researcher expanding his knowledge of numerical simulations, while learning how to enjoy the Norwegian winter.

The Spanish Astronomical Society awards the prize for the best PhD thesis  in astrophysics of 2018 to Dr. Daniel Nóbrega Siverio, one year-old postdoc at RoCS. 

Each year the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (ITA) took part to the well known and challenging Holmenkollen relay "as one". Until now.

The first annual report of the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS) is now available! Discover the vision and the scientific programme, the activities and the achievements done by all the people working at RoCS.

Awarded for the best popular scientific article of 2018 by Forskerzonen, Peter Laursen reveals how scientists can survive the struggle between doing research and public outreach.

RoCS, the freshly established Norwegian Centre of Excellence, welcomes four new PhD students in Solar Physics.

"I wanted to know how it is living in one of the cities with the highest life quality in the world"

"By the time I was in upper secondary school I knew exactly how I wanted to proceed in the following years"

"I am fascinated with the nature here, and the mountains so close to Oslo. That is something you cannot find in Denmark!"

World leading European solar/stellar physicists granted €10 millions to unveil the mysteries of our life-energy source: the Sun. Mats Carlsson, professor at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics and Principal Investigator, reveals objectives and strategy of his ambitious project.

"ITA offers an ideal environment to learn and a unique opportunity to collaborate with members of the solar group whose research topics are akin to mine."

A recent article by RoCS' doctoral research fellow, Souvik Bose and K. Nagaraju of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, is featured as a research highlight in the American Astonomical Society Nova.

“Norway itself is welcoming - since my arrival the weather was ideal.“

The image shows the heating in the upper solar atmosphere called the corona. Here the temperature is more than 1 Million Kelvin, much hotter than the solar surface.

“I’m hoping to embrace the Norwegian culture as much as possible and make the most out of the beautiful Scandinavian nature“, Petra Kohutova

A new article by professor Mats Carlsson at RoCS, among others, was recently selected as a highlight in the scientific journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics".

Charalambos Kanella and Boris Gudiksen at RoCS has published a research paper in the journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics". 

Benedikte Evensen is starting as Centre Coordinator for RoCS from the 1st of February 2018.

The SolarALMA project is featured in an article in EUs research and innovation magazine Horizon.

Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS) officially opened on November 1st 2017.

The solar research group at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics becomes new centre of excellence.

21 April Bart De Pontieu will give the annual Rosseland Lecture for 2016, titled "Living with our nearest star".
