Description
The Research Division engages in the elaboration and development of research projects in astrophysics and its related fields. To meet its objectives, the Division is organized with a managerial structure and services dedicated to facilitating and channeling the development of its research activities.
  • Project
    Anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background
    The general goal of this project is to determine and characterize the spatial and spectral variations in the temperature and polarisation of the Cosmic...
  • Project
    Archaeoastronomy
    The main objective of this project is to study the importance of astronomy as a fundamental part of human culture and civilization from Paleolithic to the...
  • Project
    ARES: High Spectral Resolution
    ARES (High Spectral Resolution) is a coordinated project which attempt to join and consolidate the efforts on instrument developments at high spectral...
  • Project
    Astroparticle Theory
    Our group works on theoretical astroparticle physics and our goal is to expand our understanding of the fundamental laws of Nature by exploiting the synergies...
  • Project
    Binary Stars
    The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is...
  • Project
    Bipolar Nebulae
    This project has three major objectives: 1) To determine the physico-chemical characteristics of bipolar planetary nebulae and symbiotic nebulae, to help...
  • Project
    Black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs and their local environment
    Accreting black-holes and neutron stars in X-ray binaries provide an ideal laboratory for exploring the physics of compact objects, yielding not only...
  • Project
    Chemical Abundances in Stars
    Stellar spectroscopy allows us to determine the properties and chemical compositions of stars. From this information for stars of different ages in the Milky...
  • Project
    CHromospheric magnetic fields in fLAREs and their evolution CHLARE
    This project aims to study the variations of the solar magnetic field in flares, the most energetic events in our solar system. Flares accelerate charged...
