Location & approach

By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

Congratulations to Dr. Jan Lukas Schubert on the successful defense of his PhD

Congratulations to our chair member Dr. Jan Lukas Schubert on the successful defense of his PhD thesis!

We would like to congratulate Dr. Jan Lukas Schubert on the successful defense of his PhD thesis entitled "Pulsar Analyses with the MAGIC Experiment: Studies of the Crab and Dragonfly Pulsars with an Automated, Database-Driven Workflow and Open-Source Software".

His PhD research focused on pulsars, which are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit pulsed electromagnetic radiation. He focused on the Crab Pulsar and the Dragonfly Pulsar, which were studied using data from the MAGIC telescopes. These are two high-energy gamma-ray telescopes located on the Canary Island of La Palma.

To cope with the huge amount of data collected over more than a decade, Dr. Jan Lukas Schubert used the database-driven tool "autoMAGIC" and implemented the necessary tools for pulsar analysis. "autoMAGIC" allows for reproducible, automated analysis with minimal human interaction. He developed a standardized pipeline for pulsar analyses of MAGIC telescope data with the open-source software gammapy, which was developed for the standardized analysis of data from different telescopes.

He analyzed about 480 hours of observational data for the Crab pulsar and detected its pulsed signal with high significance. In contrast, no such signal could be detected for the Dragonfly pulsar, despite 27 hours of observational data. Dr. Jan Lukas Schubert's work represents a significant contribution to the fields of pulsar research and gamma-ray astronomy.
