A research conducted by scientists from the Laboratory for Planetary and Atmospheric Physics (STAR Institute) at ULiège made it possible to capture, for the first time, this spectacular event from start to finish.
The origin of the powerful radio emission emitted at the heart of the Apep system was deciphered thanks to the intensive observation of two of its stars.
New capabilities developed by an international team of astronomers make it possible to directly image planets that could potentially harbour life in the habitable zone of a nearby system.
New data collected by the Juno probe suggest that "sprites" or "elves" frolic in the upper atmosphere of the largest planet in the solar system.
The ULiège's TRAPPIST-South telescope, located in Chile, has resumed its activities by pointing its eye on the Triangulum constellation.
This is revealed by the data recorded by the MAVEN probe and analysed by researchers from ULiège and the University of Colorado.
The instrument designed at the Belgian Royal Institute for Space Aeronomy and tested at the CSL has made it possible to detect this phenomenon never before observed on planets other than Earth.
The instrument that will equip ESO's Extremely Large Telescope and for which ULiège will supply a series of coronographs has successfully passed its preliminary design review.
The TRAPPIST-Nord robotic telescope has been monitoring the Near Earth Asteroid 1998 OR2 since the beginning of March.
Using the radio telescopes of the ALMA observatory and the TRAPPIST-South telescope, researchers were able to observe the chemical compounds of the comet discovered in 2019.
The astrophysicist from ULiège is awarded this prize notably for the important role she played in the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system.
These SpaceX satellites could damage astronomical data if they cross one of the areas of the sky observed by ground-based telescopes, such as those of the SPECULOOS project.
