Contact Person : C.Zeippen
The LERMA, department of Paris Observatory, associated to the CNRS, University Paris 6, the Ecole Normale Supérieure and University of Cergy-Pontoise, is an interdisciplinary laboratory covering astrophysical observations and modeling of star forming regions and galaxies, theoretical and experimental atomic and molecular physics as well as instrumentation for Herschel and Alma. Through the activities of the coordinator in collaboration with a LERMA software engineer LERMA has been involved in Virtual Observatory activities linked to atomic and molecular data. These activities are one of the top priorities among the Observatoire de Paris ongoing projects. Members of the LERMA are also involved in atomic and molecular databases, as well as in opacity studies in the framework of ambitious national (in collaboration with the CEA) and international (in collaboration with several American and European countries) projects.
