Observation services

Observation services

INSU and the LPP’s involvement in national observation services

  • INSU (National Institute for Earth and Universe Sciences of the CNRS) is responsible for defining and coordinating observation policies in astronomy and planetary sciences, in connection with the CNRS research framework and the OSU (Observatories of the Sciences of the Universe). In this capacity, it coordinates all observation services in collaboration with other national organizations.

  • The LPP contributes to several National Observation Services (SNO) accredited by INSU. These services are grouped under National Observation Actions (ANO), formerly referred to as Observation Services (SO).

  • The LPP is involved in SNOs related to the following themes:

    • ANO-2: Instrumentation for major ground-based and space observatories (formerly SO2)

    • ANO-5: Data processing, archiving, and dissemination centers (formerly SO5)

  • All accredited services are listed in the SNO database. The LPP appears there through its affiliation with the Paris Observatory. In this database, the designated responsible person corresponds to that of the Observatory; the local LPP contact is indicated below. If you are considering applying to the CNAP, it is essential to contact these responsible persons beforehand.

Example: VP Service (Velocity–Pressure) – ANO-5

  • The VP Service, registered in the MEDOC database, is affiliated with ANO-5.

  • Description: this service, entitled “Velocity–Pressure,” provides access to numerical simulation results of the solar plasma using a dedicated model (the “VP” model), offers visualization tools, and allows on-demand computations using the same code.

  • Service task led by: Roland Grappin (LPP)

  • Service name: MEDOC

  • Scientific leads:

    • MEDOC: Étienne Buchlin

    • VP: Roland Grappin

  • Type: ANO-5

  • The numerical model underlying the service was developed by R. Grappin in collaboration with J. Léorat, F. Pantellini, R. Pinto, and Y.-M. Wang. Since 2008, it has resulted in four peer-reviewed publications and two conference presentations.
