Who are we ?
The Theoretical Astrophysics Center (TAC) is financed by the Danish National Research Foundation (Danmarks Grundforskningsfond), initially for a 5-year period from its start in February 1994 and now extended for another 5 years from 1999. TAC has departments at the Niels Bohr Institute for Astrophysics, Physics, and Geophysics, at Copenhagen University, and at IFA. TAC's director is Professor Igor Novikov, Copenhagen. The department in Århus occupies itself primarily with the study of the structure and oscillations of the Sun and other stars.
The group also participates actively in
projects concerning simultaneous observations
of stellar oscillations from many telescopes.
We plan to also participate in the French COROT
project to observe stellar oscillations by satellite.
