The Ernst Patzer Foundation annually awards up to three prizes for the best refereed scientific publications by doctoral students and young postdocs at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) and the Centre for Astronomy of Heidelberg University (ZAH). This year, Elisa Schösser (ZAH/ARI) is one of the three awardees.
She receives the prize for her paper “Extremely iron-poor O-type stars in the Magellanic Bridge” (2025, Astronomy & Astrophysics, 696, L3). In her study, she identified the most iron-deficient massive stars known in our cosmic neighbourhood. These stars, discovered in the Magellanic Bridge – a stream of gas connecting the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds – provide valuable insights into what the very first stars in the Universe might have been like.
The award winners will be honored during the Patzer Colloquium on November 28, 2025, at 15:00 in the MPIA Lecture Hall.
The faculty warmly congratulates Elisa Schösser on this well-deserved recognition! [Read more]
