Dune fields, a key to understanding the climate of other “Earths” in the Solar System

E1 : Formation of dunes and climate on Titan, News, Spotlight!

Dune fields, with their periodic patterns visible from space, are one of the most recognizable landscapes on Earth and other planetary bodies. The periodicity of the dunes can be directly associated with the atmospheric conditions in which the dunes develop. By understanding how these dunes form on Earth, scientists could deduce from these mechanisms the environmental parameters that have allowed […]

Follow-up of the IceCube neutrino source candidate TXS 0506-056

E5: Numerical Observatory of Violent Accretion systems NOVAs strong gravity and beyond, E9 Low energy astrophysics with KM3NET, I7: Gamma-Ray Bursts as Multi-messengers, I8: ARGOS, News, Recent interesting publications

  The ANTARES and HESS collaborations have followed-up the IceCube observation of a first possible high-energy neutrino source candidate, and the APC groups have had a strong role in these searches. The IceCube Collaboration has reported, in a press conference at the US National Science Foundation on July 12th 2018, a correlation between high-energy neutrinos and the blazar known as […]

ISIS-OG GdR Meeting: Open questions in signal analysis for gravitational astronomy – 8 October 2018

E3: Geophysics and gravitational wave interferometric detectors, Exploratory Project, I10: From evolving binaries to the merging of compact objects, I3 : Fundamental physics and Geophysics in space, Interface Project, News

The first observations of advanced LIGO and Virgo mark the advent of a new gravitational astronomy, with great potential for discovery in many fields from fundamental physics to astronomy and cosmology. This will develop over the next few years as data is taken in the future and in the longer term using new ground-based instruments, such as the Einstein telescope, […]
