This is the homepage of Jesper Sollerman.


I am professor in Astronomy at the Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University. I am also in the board of the Oskar Klein Centre .


I am mainly into observational astronomy, including research on:

  • Supernovae (including supernova cosmology)
  • Supernova remnants
  • Pulsars
  • Gamma-Ray Bursts

    • My publications can be found here.  



    I am chairman of the Swedish Astronomical Society. We arrange meetings and publish Populär Astronomi (in Swedish).

    I also work part time at the unit for university pedagogics, leading courses on research supervision.

    I have a degree in journalism, and like writing about science. I have written some things for Forskning & Framsteg, and also of course for Populär Astronomi.

    I am partly funded by the Royal Swedish Academy, I lead the The Nordic Network of Astrophysics and Cosmology and am member of the board for Astronomy & Astrophysics.



    In 2005-2010 I worked at the DARK Cosmology Center at NBI, Copenhagen.
    Before that, in 1997-2001, I worked at ESO in Garching. I was born on Gotland .
