Meet the eROSITA Team

Dr. Matthias Kluge from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) has received the 2024 Ludwig Biermann Award from the German Astronomical Society. This award recognizes his significant contributions to astrophysics, especially his pioneering research on galaxy clusters. Kluge's efforts with the eROSITA telescope on the SRG mission have been crucial in identifying and analyzing 12,000 galaxy clusters, deepening our knowledge of the cosmic web. more
