Welcome to the pages of the GECO group

The Galaxies, Etoiles et Cosmologie (GECO; Galaxies, Stars, and Cosmology) group covers a wide range of topics going from stars to cosmology. In particular it covers the study of:

  • the interstellar and intergalactic media,
  • the different phases of the formation of stars,
  • the physical processes involved in the formation and the evolution of galaxies and their environment,
  • the dynamics of galaxies,
  • the large-scale structure of the Universe,
  • the dark matter properties,
  • the cosmological model.

News

  • On-going calls for telescope time, grants, travel money, positions, conf/workshop registrations (pertinent to the team).

  • On going prospective in link with the HCERES review: a series of meeting opened to all GECO member is taking place in may. The HCERES document will include a prospective aspect on the continuation of current activities (e.g. galaxy surveys), and elements emerging from these discussions on relatively newer activities:

    • May 12 (Thursday) 11:00, tramontane room: prospective on transients (chair: S. Blondin). Overall intro (based on the INSU prospective) - Blondin ; SVOM mission + ground-based follow-up - Basa ; Athena+ mission (transients only) - Basa ; MISTRAL spectrograph at OHP for transient follow-up - Adami ; implication in LSST - TBD ; open discussion

    • May 20 (Friday) 15:00, Mistral room, prospective on Athena (chair: C. Adami)
