Publications

Please see the ADS for a complete list including links to data and pre-print versions.

Furthermore my undergraduate thesis (Diplomarbeit) and the doctoral thesis (Dissertation) are available; their content is also contained in my earliest refereed articles.

Published books

I collaborate on a project on Roman warships with historians. In this field, articles are less common than in astronomy and the results of these studies are published as books.
