Probing the interstellar medium of a very distant galaxy
A scientific team involving GEPI at the Paris Observatory - PSL observed with the ESO/VLT X-shooter spectrograph one of the most distant gamma-ray bursts...
How to measure magnetic fields within binary systems emitting gravitational waves?
In a recent study published in Physical Review D, a team from SYRTE in Observatoire de Paris and LDE3 from DAp/IRFU at CEA, demonstrated that the effect of...
A coherent scenario for the Earth-Moon distance evolution
Due to tidal friction, the Earth’s rotation slows down and the Moon goes away. This is measured with centimetre precision using Lunar Laser ranging. But up...
The high abundance of heavy elements hidden by dust
For a long time, ultra-luminous infrared galaxies, resulting from major galaxy mergers, appeared with a relatively low abundance of heavy elements, compared...
Accurate measurement of the Sagnac effect for matter waves
At the Paris Observatory - PSL, the "Atomic Interferometry and Inertial Sensors" team from SYRTE (Paris Observatory - PSL / CNRS / SU / LNE) published on...
A supermassive black hole kicked out of its galaxy
When two galaxies merge, the massive black holes lurking in their nuclei will merge rapidly. Their relative orbital energy will be radiated away through...
Shedding new light on planetary chaos
Are the orbits of the solar system planets stable? This question has arisen several times in history, especially when Henri Poincaré, at the end of the 19th...
Enlight the dark sector of the Universe with RAYGAL simulations
What is the connection between the universe as it is and the universe as we see it? To this philosophical question, science could provide the beginning of an...
The cosmic web responsible of galaxy transformation
The shape of galaxies and how they evolve depend on a web of cosmological filaments that run across the Universe. According to a recent study of an...
Solar Orbiter provides its first results
Solar Orbiter, from its early stages of scientific studies, is already producing a harvest of remarkable results. A special issue of Astronomy and...
