Laboratory
The Lyon Centre for Astrophysics Research (CRAL) is under the joint supervision of the UCBL, the ENS-L and the CNRS.
The CRAL is renowned for its research in the physics of dense plasma applied to low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets, on compact objects, on the characterization of habitable planets, on dark matter and dark energy, on the chemodynamics of nearby galaxies, on galaxy formation and evolution, studies of stellar populations and on high-angular-resolution R&D.
The CRAL is presently leading the European consortium that builds MUSE, a massive integral Field Spectrograph integrated at the Lyon Observatory, to be delivered to VLT in 2012.
