Laboratory Astrophysics

Welcome to the site of the European Task Force for Laboratory Astrophysics, ETFLA.

The ETFLA has been appointed by the ASTRONET Board. Its remit is to deliver - as described in the Astronet Roadmap -  a strategy to optimize and promote, in liaison with relevant European and International parties, the field of laboratory astrophysics in relation to ground- and space-based astronomy and missions, including in-situ (inter)planetary probes, considering both short- and medium-to-long-term timescales. The field embraces all physical, chemical, biological, geological and interdisciplinary experimental sciences of relevance to astronomical inquiry, including theoretical, computational and modelling research, from the nuclear and atomic/molecular level to application on astronomical scales.
