Beate Stelzer

Prof. Beate Stelzer leads the Space-based Astrophysics and Experimental UV Astronomy working groups at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. Her research spans magnetic activity in cool stars, star formation processes, and X-ray/UV astronomy using space-based instruments like XMM-Newton, Chandra, and eROSITA.

• Key research themes include protostellar disk interactions, accretion shocks, and coronal dynamics in young stars and brown dwarfs.
• She contributes to international projects such as PLATO, ESBO-DS, Athena, and GAPS.
• Her team develops advanced UV detectors for space missions, focusing on FPGA programming, photocathode optimization, and space-qualified imaging technology.

Involvement in grants and collaborations includes memberships in the eROSITA Science Working Group, EXTraS, and Gaia-ESO Survey. Her group actively mentors PhD and Master’s students, with former members like Dr. Laura Venuti and Dr. Alexis Klutsch.
