The TRAPPIST-Nord robotic telescope has been monitoring the Near Earth Asteroid 1998 OR2 since the beginning of March.

Using the radio telescopes of the ALMA observatory and the TRAPPIST-South telescope, researchers were able to observe the chemical compounds of the comet discovered in 2019.

It came as a Christmas gift ! The Minor Planet Center (MPC) has officially attributed its first asteroid to TRAPPIST !

Observations using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and ULiege's two TRAPPIST telescopes revealed the true shape of this planet, previously considered an asteroid.

Towards the comparative study of temperate terrestrial worlds

A survey over 30 years of stellar occultations by Pluto has allowed astronomers to study the structure and behaviour of the atmopshere of Pluto with unique details. The TRAPPIST team has contributed on several occasions with successful occultations from both Chilean and Moroccan sites.

25 students from the Masters in Space Sciences from the Liège University and Cadi Ayyad University from Marrakech spent a week under the starry skies of the Oukaimeden Observatory to learn the life of an astronomer.

In January 2019, it was found that Gault had some cometary activity, and that it had multiple tails. The second tail was spotted by TRAPPIST team who has undergone a monitoring of several weeks and published a paper describing this unusual object.

The TRAPPIST-1 science team received a NASA award for the discovery of TRAPPIST-1 in 2017

46P/Wirtanen is a small short-period comet with a current orbital period of 5.4 years. It was the original target for close investigation by the ESA Rosetta spacecraft.

The four new 1-m telescopes, big brothers of the TRAPPIST telescopes, and dedicated to the search of habitable planets around neighbor ultra-cool stars have been successfully installed at the ESO Paranal Observatory in Chile.

The beSPACE Award for Team of the Year 2018 went to the TRAPPIST team of ULiège for performing bold and innovative research that brings space science closer to the people.
