Interstellar Medium, Cycle of Matter, Astro-Chemistry
A new superstructure of galaxies in formation, discovered in a cold luminous zone of the distant universe
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 […]
A new molecule detected in a proto-planetary disk
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 […]
Cosmic cartographers map the nearby Universe revealing the diversity of star-forming galaxies
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 […]
Impact of metals in the chemistry of (stellar) dust
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 […]
Machine learning: a breakthrough in the study of stellar nurseries
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 […]
Interstellar Medium, Cycle of Matter, Astro-Chemistry (MICMAC)
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. […]
News about the formation of star molecules and dust
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 […]
Success of the 3rd flight of the PILOT stratospheric balloon experiment
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 […]
Massive stars make waves
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 […]
