132 V. People and Events Abb. V.11.1: At the 2005 annual meeting of the Astronomical Society (AG) in Cologne. From left to right: the founders Mrs. Ruth and Mr. Hanno Roelin, Joachim Krautter (chairman of the AG), Jakob Staude, and Thomas Bührke, the first prizewinner. (Picture: Tobias Roelin) within the entire book – and even this formula is explained descriptively!« (SuW 4/2004, p. 96). This opinion was unanimously shared by the jury. Thomas Bührke convinced the jury with his coverage of a broad range of astronomical and space research subjects published in national newspapers and journals and his thorough explanation of complex relationships and their background. However, Bührke continuously bears the entertainment value of his texts in mind. The jury arrived at the conclusion that the latest contributions submitted by Bührke as well as his longstanding work fully meet the foundation’s expectations. The astronomical community should be grateful to both the founders and the prizewinner! The second round of the Hanno and Ruth Roelin Prize for Science Journalism will begin in early 2007. The number and high-quality of the applications during the first round promise a successful future of the prize. (Jakob Staude)
V.12 Farewell Colloquium in Honor of Immo Appenzeller From June 30 th to July 1 st , the farewell colloquium in honor of Immo Appenzeller, Director of the Landessternwarte Heidelberg (LSW), was held in the lecture hall of the MPIA. It was no coincidence that the scientific part of this event organized by the LSW was presented at the MPIA: the long-standing close cooperation between the two astronomical institutes on the Königstuhl was largely attributed to the guest of honor himself. From 1998 to 2000, Appenzeller was the provisional Acting Director of the MPIA. »From T Tauri Stars to the Edge of the Universe« was the apt title of the colloquium on the occasion of the forthcoming retirement of Immo Appenzeller, to which almost one hundred invited guests, among them the 22 speakers, had come to the Königstuhl. The title of the colloquim was »meaningful« indeed, because it illustrates the enormous range of scientific topics Appenzeller dealt with during his life as an astrophysicist. It was this great scientific variety that – in addition to numerous personal words – was the special focus of the talks. At the beginning of his scientific career in Göttingen, Immo Appenzeller mainly worked on stars. Later he increasingly turned his attention to extragalactic issues, too. Besides the fact that he tackled »his« astronomical objects both theoretically and observationally, his intensive involvement in the building of instruments was also emphasized in the talks. A signature project was the construction of fors 1 and fors 2 (fors � Focal Reducer and Spectrograph) for the eso-VLT. This instrument, built under eso contract by the LSW and the University Observatories of Göttingen and Munich, provided excellent images and spectra from the start and is generally Fig. V.12.1: A large number of guests attended the colloquium for Immo Appenzeller (in front to the left) in the lecture hall of the MPIA. Fig. V.12.2: Immo Appenzeller with a special present alluding to his second great area of interest apart from stars: cacti. called »the workhorse« of the VLT. Immo Appenzeller was PI of the project and was very involved in the scientific use of the instrument after its commissioning. One example of this work is the fors Deep Field. Currently, his name is also linked to the building of the lucifer 1 and 2 instruments (LBT nir spectroscopic Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research) for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Immo Appenzeller is co-PI of these instruments, which will provide spectra and images in the near-infrared range and are being built by the LSW in cooperation with four other institutes, one of them the MPIA. This project also demonstrates the close scientific cooperation between the two institutes on the Königstuhl. From 1975 until 2005, Immo Appenzeller was in charge of the fate and fortune of the Landessternwarte; on September 30 th he retired. The colloquium held in advance was not only an appropriate scientific setting. With the barbecue that took place on the grounds of the LSW in the evening of the first day, it also represented a social highlight which will certainly be fondly remembered by all participants.
