The Research Council of Norway has funded the project “Vortex flows and magnetic tornadoes on the Sun and cool stars” for the period 2013 to 2017. The aim of the VORTEX project is the comprehensive study of vortex flows and magnetic tornadoes on the Sun and other stars.

Modern science usually provides both copious amounts of data and complicated models for the part of reality it is trying to describe. Often there is even so much data, and the models so complicated, that it becomes difficult to make full use of the data in deciding which models best describe the world around us, and finding their properties. The main goal of the GAMBIT project is to develop a software tool to help physicists do just that.

The SolarALMA project was funded with a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) and ran from September 2016 to August 2021. The aim was to utilise the first observations of the Sun with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which promises significant steps towards understanding the outer layers of the solar atmosphere with possible contributions to solving the coronal heating problem.

The Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) on La Palma is the world leading facility for high resolution observations of the Sun.

All elements in the Universe, except for the lightest ones, are made in stars.

But the heavier elements, like gold, lead and uranium, are not. How are they made?
