The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) was created in 1992 in the State of Brandenburg (Germany). It is the successor to the Berlin Observatory, founded in 1700, and the Astrophysical Observatory Potsdam, founded in 1874.
At AIP, about 120 scientists work on a wide range of astrophysical research topics and projects. The key topics are Cosmic Magnetic Fields and Extragalactic Astrophysics. Thus, the institute's broad research profile covers the feld of astronomy and astrophysics, from the physics of the Sun, over stars and exoplanets, the Milky Way and galaxies, to the processes of the cosmos on its largest scales. The institute is a partner of the GREGOR solar telescope and owns and operates the robotic facility STELLA in Tenerife.
