Understanding the presence, characteristics, and origin of water within the inner solar system can be enhanced by analyzing the properties (composition, dynamics) of ices present on terrestrial planets such as Mars and Mercury. This analysis, conducted through infrared spectroscopy, relies on data collected by instruments such as CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars)...
The emergence of constellations of CubeSats provides a new paradigm in the observation of planetary bodies such as the Earth, Moon or Mars. The desire to observe planetary atmospheres in near-real time highlights the need for new miniaturized instruments with sufficient spectral resolution to meet scientific requirements. The main goal of this presentation is to describe the design of a...
Studying Jovian low-frequency magnetospheric radio-emissions (≤40 MHz) allows to remotely probe their generation mechanism (especially the electron Cyclotron Maser – ECM) and the acceleration processes of electrons that power it. Those emissions have different time scales : from milliseconds (fast drifting radio bursts) to hours, and are mainly polarized elliptically (both circular and linear...
Since the commissioning of the NeoNarval instrument at TBL in 2019, concerns have been raised regarding the quality of results in polarimetry and precision in velocimetry. Data from NeoNarval fails to reproduce the 10% magnetic population in OB stars as obtained by its predecessor Narval among other instruments, and under-reports the field strength of well-studied magnetic stars....
