Interstellar Medium, Cycle of Matter, Astro-Chemistry
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play an important role in the physics and chemistry of star- and planet-forming regions. Several formation sites have been proposed for these PAHs: in the envelopes […]
How does a planetary system like the Solar System come into being? To find out, CNRS scientists working as part of an international research team (1) studied a stellar nursery, […]
An international team, including French scientists (1) from Université Paris-Saclay, Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, the INCLASS joint laboratory (IAS/ACRI-ST), Observatoire de Paris-PSL, Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS and CNES, […]
An international team of scientists have used data collected by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to detect a molecule [1] known as the methyl cation (CH3+) for the first […]
An international research team has just revealed the first images of the Orion Nebula, the richest and closest nursery of stars to the Solar System, captured by the James Webb […]
In the framework of an international collaboration (1), a team from Toulouse (IRAP, UT3-CNRS-CNES) has just published the first unambiguous detection, in a meteorite, of buckminsterfullerene (C60) and other fullerenes […]
Press release of the SF2A Audrey Coutens is an assistant astronomer at IRAP since 2021, and she carries out her research on the interstellar medium and the formation sites of […]
The data transmitted by probes and orbital telescopes must be processed to be used by scientists, and their sensors provide several types of images with different properties. Nicolas Dobigeon, a […]
An international team of astrophysicists involving scientists* from the University of Paris-Saclay, CNRS, the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, Aix-Marseille University and the University Claude Bernard of Lyon […]
