The Heating Rate in the Magnetic Environment around the Earth Estimated for the First Time

Researchers at the Laboratory of Plasma Physics (UPSud/CNRS/École Polytechnique/Sorbonne University/Paris Observatory) and the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) have for the first time estimated the energy dissipation rate of turbulence in the magnetosheath, a key region lying between the solar wind and the magnetic bubble protecting the Earth.

First observation of merging neutron stars by LIGO-Virgo and numerous telescopes

For the first time, gravitational waves emitted during the collision of two neutron stars were detected on Thursday 17th August 2017 at 14.41 (Paris time) by scientists from the LIGO-Virgo collaboration, in which teams from the Linear Accelerator Laboratory (CNRS/Paris-Sud University) are strongly involved.

They came from Sochi to the Faculty of Sports Science (UFR STAPS)

Since 2016, each year the Faculty of Sports Science at the Paris-Sud University has launched a special programme: the MELS (Sports Events Management) International Session. For six weeks, final year masters courses are taught in English and open to partner universities from all over the world. This year, five students from Sochi University, in Russia, made the trip.
