| Report on the Results: | As part of the World Space Week 2024 celebrations, a specialized workshop titled "Astronomy and Spectroscopy Science" was held at the Faculty of Exact Sciences, Constantine University 1. Tailored primarily for graduate students and researchers in physics and chemistry, the workshop offered a deep dive into advanced spectroscopy techniques and their applications in astronomy, with a particular focus on exoplanet research. The workshop provided students with hands-on experience and practical skills, equipping them with tools essential for analyzing light from distant exoplanets. The session highlighted cutting-edge developments in extreme-precision Doppler spectroscopy, a technique perfected by a research team with remarkable precision down to 1 m/s. This sophisticated system, valued at around 20 million dollars, has been instrumental in the discovery of numerous exoplanets, underscoring the significance of advanced spectroscopy in modern astronomy. Participants also explored high-performance photometry and its critical role in studying astronomical bodies. The workshop included discussions on the latest innovations in laser technology, now showing potential in detecting extraterrestrial life. By addressing both the physical and technological aspects of these techniques, the workshop provided a comprehensive learning experience, enhancing students’ understanding of the intersection between physics, chemistry, and astronomy. |
