Division of Electronics, Detectors and Computing for Physics (DEDIP)

Data-SAp

Des archives aux bases de donnée. Ce programme, propre au Service d'Astrophysique et UMR AIM, comprend l'ensemble des données résultant des programmes d'observations, des projets de simulations ou d'instrumentation. From archives to databases. This research program of the Astrophyscis Division and UMR AIM, consists of all the data resulting from observing programs, simulation projets or instrumentation.  

Interpretation

Research at AIM is based on three pillars: space instrumentation, observations, and modeling.

Detectors for both infinite physics

In the fields of instrumentation, Irfu's teams carry out the necessary instruments to see through its research in subatomic physics, astrophysics and cosmology. From the mechanical design of detectors to the realization and characterization of prototypes, and finally the integration and testing of final detectors, there are numerous expertises such as microstructured gas detectors, imagers and space spectro-imagers in different wavelengths (gammas, X, visible, infrared and submillimetre waves).

Planets, star's formation and dynamics, interstellar medium

We are studying how stars work, the Sun first of all. We have deepened our knowledge of the Sun via helioseismology observations (discovery of global gravity modes with SOHO-GOLF (Garcia et al., Science 316, 1591 (2007)) and large magneto-hydrodynamics simulations on massively parallel computers (Brun et al. ApJ, 742, 79).

Modélisation-SAp

Du calcul à la simulation numérique. Ce programme, propre au Service d'Astrophysique et UMR AIM, comprend l'ensemble des projets en théorie et modélisation. From calculation to numerical simulation. This research program of the Astrophyscis Division and UMR AIM, consists of all the theoretical and modelisation project.
