Master's students in astrophysics on an observation mission to TRAPPIST-North

Students of the Master in Space Sciences from the University of Liège and the Cadi Ayyad University of Marrakech spent a week under the starry sky of the Oukaimeden Observatory in Morocco as part of their course.

It was under the starry sky of the Atlas Mountains that a dozen students of the master's degree in space sciences from the University of Liège and the Cadi Ayyad University of Marrakech stayed for a week at the Oukaimeden Observatory to carry out observations with the TRAPPIST-Nord telescope from ULiège as part of the "Astrophysical Observations" course of Emmanuel Jehin in order to carry out a series of scientific projects: rotation light curves of asteroids, search for exoplanets transits, light curves of variable stars, observation of comets, search for new asteroids or make beautiful images of galaxies and nebulae. A full week spent observing at night, processing data and taking classes during the day, amidst the beautiful landscapes and ambiance of the Atlas Mountains.
