Master's students in Astrophysics and Cosmos, Fields and Particles at the Haute-Provence Observatory

The stay of Master's 2 students in Astrophysics and Cosmos, Fields, and Particles from Montpellier and Lyon at the Haute-Provence Observatory took place this year from September 22 to 26, 2025.

This year, 21 students were able to use three OHP telescopes and the IRiS telescope at LabEx OCEVU to carry out seven projects (study of an exoplanet using the transit method, characterization of the orbit of binary stars, study of a spiral galaxy, etc.). During their stay, the students also had the opportunity to visit the 193 cm telescope and the ELODIE spectrograph, with which Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz discovered the first exoplanet orbiting a main sequence star 30 years ago, in 1995.
