Karl Florian Goebel (18 October 1972 — 10 September 2008) was a German astrophysicist attached to the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich. He had also been a member of DESY, a German-based research center that develops and runs several particle accelerators and detectors, most notably the ZEUS project.

At the time of his death he was managing the MAGIC-II telescope project. His death led to the suspension of the official inauguration date for MAGIC-II, originally set for 19 September 2008.

Education and career

Goebel graduated from Heidelberg University in July 1995 with an undergraduate degree in Physics. As a recipient of a Fulbright scholarship,Template:R he earned his master's degree in Physics from Stony Brook University, the first degree awarded from work with the Stony Brook Nucleon decay and Neutrino Group's participation in the Super-Kamiokande experiment,Template:R in December 1996. Goebel completed his PhD in Physics at the DESY in Hamburg in September 2001 as part of his work on the ZEUS project.Template:R

Death and legacy

On 10 September 2008, just nine days prior to the scheduled inauguration of MAGIC-II, Goebel fell about Script error: No such module "convert". to his death while changing one of that telescope's lenses, leading to the suspension of the telescope's commencement of operations.Template:R After his death, the pair of telescopes were renamed the "MAGIC Florian Goebel Telescopes" in his memory.Template:R MAGIC-II had its "first light" on 25 April 2009 after a ceremony during which Goebel's brother assisted with the ribbon-cutting.Template:R
