THE MOUNT MÉGANTIC OBSERVATORY
Astrophysicists at Université de Montréal and Université Laval are jointly members of a research center called «Observatoire astronomique du mont Mégantic». The Montréal group supervises some 25 graduate students and five postdoctoral fellows. On the observational side, the group shares - together with colleagues at Université Laval - a 1.6 m telescope located 250 km east of Montréal. With its CCD detectors and infrared camera, the telescope is particularly well equipped for imagery and spectroscopy in the wavelength range 3500Å to 2.5mm. In addition to their own equipment, staff and students use major observing facilities worldwide, such as the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the Hubble Space Telescope, the US National Observatories of Kitt Peak (Arizona) and Cerro Tololo (Chile), the Very Large (radio) Array (New Mexico), the astronomical X-ray satellite ROSAT, as well as several others.
