    Welcome to the Department of Astronomy!

    The Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University, Stockholm Observatory, is the main institution in Stockholm for research and education within astronomy and astrophysics. We are located in AlbaNova University Center close to the main Stockholm University and Royal Institute of Technology campuses.

    About us

    Teaching during the spring semester 2022 at the Department of Astronomy

    The government and the Swedish Public Health Agency have decided to remove restrictions due to Covid-19 on the 9th of February. This will not affect the teaching at the Department of Astronomy, as most of our courses have campus-based teaching, with relevant infection control measures.

    Read more about how the restrictions affect courses VT22.

    Research at the Department of Astronomy

    Research in astronomy and astrophysics at the department is both observational and theoretical, and ranges from nearby objects like the Sun to the most distant galaxies. There is also a strong interest in astronomical instrumentation.
