Multi-wavelength diagnostics of the Molecular Cloud, DC 314.8-5.1

An international team of astronomers led by researchers at the Jagiellonian University Astronomical Observatory, study the multi-wavelength characteristics of the interstellar medium, probing the stellar populations within the dark cloud, DC 314.8-5.1. The team utilized data from the Gaia optical, 2MASS near-infrared, and WISE mid-infrared surveys, dedicated imaging with the Spitzer Space Telescope, and X-ray data obtained with the Swift-XRT Telescope (XRT).

Jagiellonian University with its own space mission under ERC grant!

The European Research Council has awarded 3 mln € to dr Michał Drahus for the HYADES project, under which a dedicated space telescope will be built to observe hydrogen and deuterium around small bodies in the Solar System. The goal is to determine the origin of water on our planet and to search for new and previously unknown water reservoirs in the Solar System and other planetary systems. The five-year project will be carried out at the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University. Więcej
