The SPICA infrared space telescope has just been pre-selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to participate in the final competition, which in September 2021 will see the choice of […]
Often portrayed as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be, once deployed, the largest telescope ever launched into space. Through its observations […]
The magnetic field in the dense twisted loop of gas and dust surrounding the black hole at the centre of our Galaxy has been revealed in a new image from […]
An interdisciplinary French team involving laboratories in Toulouse (IRAP, LCPQ) and the Paris region (Synchrotron SOLEIL, ISMO) combined the measurement of photo-ionization spectra at the SOLEIL synchrotron with molecular simulations […]
The new analytical experimental setup called AROMA (Astrochemistry Research of Organics with Molecular Analyzer) is now in operation at IRAP/LCAR. The main purpose of this setup is to study and […]
The Pilot astrophysics experiment will be launched in a few days under a stratospheric balloon from Alice Springs in central Australia. The aim is to observe the polarization of the […]
The Orion nebula is an observational target since the earliest antiquity – first with the naked eye and then by means of ever more powerful telescopes, located for some on […]
One of the great mysteries of astrophysics lies in understanding the different stages of formation of a star such as ours. How a star like the Sun emerged from the […]
