Interstellar Medium, Cycle of Matter, Astro-Chemistry
Understanding the composition of proto-planetary disks, which systematically accompany the formation of stars and are the cradles of planetary systems, remains a key step to elucidate the mechanisms of planet […]
Study reveals that the makeup and life cycle of star-forming clouds is dependent on location A team of astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has completed the first […]
Understanding the formation of stardust in the laboratory is one of the objectives of the ERC Synergy Nanocosmos project (1). The Toulouse team involved in this project has published a […]
Artificial intelligence can make it possible to see astrophysical phenomena that were previously beyond reach. This has now been demonstrated by scientists from the CNRS (IRAP included), IRAM, Observatoire de […]
Leader : Nathalie Ysard Deputy : Douglas Marshall The matter cycle plays an important role in the evolution of astronomical objects, from small-scale stars and planetary systems to large-scale galaxies. […]
A research team from Spanish and French laboratories (1) recreated in the laboratory the conditions similar to those involved in the formation of carbonaceous star dust in the environment of […]
The third launch of the PILOT balloon took place on the morning of 24 September (5:36 Local time, 9:36 UT) from the tarmac at Timmins Airport, Ontario, Canada. After 3 […]
The Milky Way has about 100 billion stars, most of which were formed when our galaxy was half its current age. Over the time, the star formation rate has considerably slowed […]
Experiments conducted by an international team involving the Institut de recherche en astrophysique et planétologie (IRAP, University of Toulouse/CNRS) and the Laboratoire de chimie et physique quantiques (LCPQ, University of […]
