German ARC node/Bonn, Cologne Host institute 1: Argelander Institute for Astronomy Research and educational institute, dep. of Physics and Astronomy, Univ. of Bonn, ~60 staff, ~70 PhD and master students, 9 research groups Expertise: star formation, galaxy evolution, ISM in galaxies, obs. cosmology, Milky Way, AGN; grav. lensing, LS structure, dark energy, stellar evolution Close ties to Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy, Univ. of Cologne Representative: Frank Bertoldi NameStatusFTEExpertise/task Frank BertoldiARC node representative 0.1Funding, overall management Stefanie MuehleARC node manager 0.75management, training, outreach, user support, mmVLBI Reinhold SchaafStaff0.3IT support, user sup.

German ARC node/Bonn, Cologne Host institute 2: I. Physikalisches Institut Research and educational institute, Univ. of Cologne, 6 research groups Expertise: Galactic Center, galaxies, nearby QSOs, PDR (obs. + modelling), large-scale mapping, plan. atmospheres, turbulent clouds, instrumentation Expertise in the German ARC node: Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy (CDMS) Spectral line analysis and radiative transfer tools Short spacings for continuum data Polarization NameStatusFTEExpertise/task Peter SchilkeARC node affiliate 0.2Funding, Cologne management Christian EndresPostdoc0.5CDMS Thomas MoellerPostdoc0.5myXCLASS, Spectral measurement Alvaro Sanchez-MongePostdoc0.5myXCLASS, user support

German ARC node/Bonn, Cologne Major current activities: User support (including CS, QA2, f2f) Community Training/Outreach (Community Days, hands-on workshops, lecture series, tutorials) Expansion of the Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy XCLASS (CASA toolbox for spectral line identification and fitting) CASA tools for the combination of single-dish and interferometric data Integration of polarization tools into CASA Funding: Federal Ministry for Education and Research, 3-year cycle, last renewed in July 2014 (currently 5 postdocs + IT) Universities of Bonn and Cologne

German ARC node/Bonn, Cologne Future perspectives: Maintain current staffing level Maintain special expertise and involvement in development projects as added service to the community New area of expertise: mm-VLBI with ALMA (with MPIfR, EU-ARC) Expand training opportunities for broader astronomical community Issues/concerns: German constitution does not allow federal agencies long-term funding of science support structures at universities (under review) o Funding specifically for development projects/German community o Risk of brain-drain at end of each funding period o additional lines of funding important Additional comments: ES phase proven very useful for training staff, testing procedures etc. German community seems to prefer formal meetings/workshops over individual face-to-face visits
