Contact person : C. Joblin
The Toulouse team is strongly involved in the study of the physics and chemistry of interstellar matter: gas, dust and thier interaction. The team provides an instrumental contribution to ESA space projects (HIFI on board Herschel). The team has also developed an original experimental set-up, PIRENEA for the study of the photophysics and chemistry of large molecules such as Polycyclic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in physical conditions approaching those of interstellar space. Dr C. Joblin has a wide experience in the study of interstellar PAHs using a multidisciplinary approach that combines observations and laboratory experiments.
Key persons :
C. Joblin Senior CNRS Researcher Expertise : interdisciplinary studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and application to astrochemistry, president of the french National Program “Physics and Chemistry of the Interstellar Medium”, task manager in the FP6-RTN network “Molecular Universe”. Role in VAMDC project : definition of standards for PAH(JRA1), NA1 (tasks: user requirements for PAH), Preservation and Quality Assurance (SA2)
