INACTIVE LINK ? - 236 --- POLLUX database of stellar spectra (GRAAL, Montpellier, France)
POLLUX aims at archiving high resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra of stars in the optical range. We expect the POLLUX spectra to be useful to astrophysicists working in the field of stellar atmospheres and to a certain extent to scientists working on stellar population synthesis.

Pierre Auger Obsevatory
The Auger Observatory is designed to detect and study cosmic rays around and above the GZK cutoff, i.e. at energies exceeding 1019 eV, with an unprecented quality and precision. Within our present knowledge, there is no standard explanation to the production and acceleration of any particle in the universe at such macroscopic energies. The Auger project is therefore the only answer the scientific community can propose to solve an astrophysical puzzle of more than 30 years. The Observatory is now under construction since 2001.

Probing Lensing Anomalies NETwork (PLANET)
The PLANET collaboration is a worldwide network of astronomers with access to Dutch, South African, and Australian telescopes. The primary goal of PLANET is the study of microlensing anomalies (departures from an achromatic point-source, point-lens light curve) through multi-band, rapidly-sampled photometry. An ultimate goal is to place constraints on the number and distribution of planets around other stars.
