Description
As part of the ISO calibration programme, we observed the mid-infrared spectrum of the Zodiacal Light at low and high ecliptie latitudes, using the spectrophotometer ISOPHOT-S. In the 6 um to 12 um range the average spectrum can be reproduced with a T = 264 K blackbody. By combining this blackbody spectrum with photometry from COBE / DIRBE, we propose a simple tool to estimate the Zodiacal Light emission between 6 um and 12 um with an accuracy of better than 25%.

    Mass and radius determination of young planets and the implications for their gas envelope evolution
    Despite thousands of extrasolar planets discovered to date, the dominant mechanisms forming planets and the timescales of planetary migration and atmospheric evaporation remain to be probed observationally. To shed light on these mechanisms, we performed a combined photometric and spectroscopic analysis of several young transiting systems at

    Participation to the PLATO Ground-Based Observation Programme
    The ESA PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) mission aims at the detection and characterisation (radii, mass, density, age) of terrestrial exoplanets in orbits up to the habitable zone around Sun-like stars. To achieve these goals, an optimised complementary Ground-based Observations Programme (GOP) is set up with the purpose to

    Unveiling the central kpc of Type I AGN host galaxies in seeing-limited IFS data
    The evolution of galaxies appears linked to the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBH), as evidenced by empirical scale relations between hosts' large-scale properties and the mass of their central black holes. This co-evolutionary scenario suggests that all galaxies experience nuclear activity — active phases during which the black hole
