Astronomical Calculation Institute, Research institute and astronomical observatory in Heidelberg, Germany.
The Astronomical Calculation Institute operates within the Center for Astronomy at Heidelberg University, conducting research in astrometry and stellar dynamics.
The institute traces its origins to 1700 when Gottfried Kirch established it in Berlin-Dahlem following Frederick I of Prussia's initiative for star catalog publications.
The institute maintains international collaborations through the publication of astronomical catalogs, including the Gliese catalog and fundamental FK5 and FK6 catalogs.
Researchers and students at the institute work on projects involving gravitational lensing, galaxy evolution, stellar dynamics, and complex mathematical models of space phenomena.
The institute produces an annual high-precision catalog called Apparent Places, calculating exact positions for more than 3,000 stars each day of the year.
