TLS performs research in solar and stellar physics, extrasolar planets, and extragalactic physics. TLS operates the 2-metre Alfred Jensch telescope, an international station of the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), and a new solar laboratory for developing instrumentation for synoptic multi-line observations of the Sun. Furthermore, the institute participates in many instrumentation projects, including the ANDES spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), and contributes with the PLATOSpec instrument to the ground-based follow-up observations for the ESA PLATO mission.
