The European Large Area ISO Survey

Oliver, Seb; Pozzi, Francesca

The European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) was the largest Open Time survey on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). It was designed to explore obscured galaxies and hence quantify the recent star-formation history of the Universe. The final reanalysis of the data has been completed and a band-merged catalogue with associations across many wavelen…

Debris Discs Around Stars: The 2004 ISO Legacy

de Muizon, Marie Jourdain

Debris discs around stars were first discovered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) in 1983. For the first time material orbiting another star than the Sun, but distinct from a circumstellar envelope, was observed through its far infrared emission. This major discovery motivated astronomers to investigate those discs by further analyzing…

ISO Observations of Pre-Stellar Cores and Young Stellar Objects

Ward-Thompson, Derek; Nisini, Brunella; van Dishoeck, Ewine F. +1 more

We summarize the observations of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) concerning the earliest stages of the stellar formation. The observations of samples of sources in different evolutionary stages are reviewed, addressing in particular how the physical and chemical properties of the protostellar environments change from the pre-stellar cores to …
