The Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux (LAB) is a research institute from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the University of Bordeaux. The main research activities aim at understanding the structure and evolution of objects and systems that form the universe. The laboratory is involved in the construction of observational instruments, in particular ALMA, Herschel, Gaia, Cassigni-Hyugens and Mars express. In addition to its strong implication in the exploitation data from ground based and space observatories, there is a strong theoretical component working on modeling of various types including chemical modeling.
