Zooming into the skin of the Orion hunter
Combining the information from the ALMA interferometer and the IRAM-30m single-dish, an international team of astronomers led by Javier Goicoechea (CSIC)...
The THEMIS telescope reveals the fine structure of the magnetic field at the solar surface outside of active regions
A key objective of the French THEMIS solar telescope, located in the Teide Observatory in Tenerife in the Canary Islands, is to study the magnetic field and...
Star Formation and Feedback: A Molecular Outflow–Prestellar Core Interaction in L1689N
The molecular cloud L1689N contains a prestellar core, characterized by a high deuteration level, indicating of high density and freeze-out of molecules on...
The jet from a black hole drives multiple winds in a nearby galaxy
Massive black holes residing in the centers of galaxies are extremely powerful energy sources, able to disrupt or damage a large part of their galaxies by...
GAIA: A year of science observations
272 billions of astrometric measurements (positions), 54.4 billions of photometric observations (apparent luminosities) and 5.4 billions of spectra: this is...
Is the black hole in NGC 1277 really obese?
It is well known that each galaxy hosts in its nucleus a super-massive black hole, of mass equal to 0.2-1% of its bulge mass. Recently a few exceptions of...
An exoplanet in transit, from visible to X-rays: Venus as a probe
The atoms in the upper atmosphere of planets can absorb high-energy photons (UV and soft X-rays) when passing in front of their stars, increasing their...
Ubiquity of interplanetary nanodust particles from Cassini observations
An international team, led by astronomers from Paris Observatory, has measured for the first time the distribution of nanodust particles in the...
GAIA discovers diffuse band (DIB) absorptions and probe the interstellar medium
Researchers from Paris Observatory have uncovered for the first time in the spectra of GAIA absorption lines of the Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIB). The...
Ionized carbon in absorption and emission to better trace the interstellar diffuse gas
Analyzing observations obtained with the Herschel satellite, an international team led by a researcher at Paris Observatory has obtained new information on...
