SPIRou

Presentation of the project

Responsable : Guillaume HEBRARD

 

 

 

SPIRou is an infrared spectro-polarimeter that began its observations in 2018 at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. It aims to search and characterize telluric planets in the habitable zone around cold stars, and to study the impact of the magnetic field on the formation of stars and planets.
