Recherche
Amas globulaires, halos galactiques et distances cosmologiques
En 1968 je définissais le concept de systèmes d’amas globulaires. Ils sont maintenant l’objet de recherches dynamiques de par le monde. Leur importance comme indicateurs de distances cosmologiques est bien établie. Ils nous aident aussi à comprendre la formation et l’évolution des galaxies.
Télescopes et observatoires astronomiques, optique adaptative
En 1976 les universités de Montréal et Laval me chargeaient de mettre sur pied l’Observatoire du mont Mégantic. La Société du Télescope Canada-France-Hawai’i m’a ensuite donné l’opportunité (1980-84) de mettre en service un excellent grand télescope à un des meilleurs sites sur terre et d’en faire le meilleur par la qualité des images qu’il produit. Ceci a contribué à développer au Canada une grande expertise en imagerie haute résolution et conduisit naturellement à des compétences reconnues en optique adaptative
Exo-Planètes
Depuis les années 90 mes travaux ont surtout porté sur l’étude effroyablement difficile des exo-planètes par imagerie directe. Les méthodes et technologies que nous avons mises au point permettront bientôt d’y arriver.

Research
Star clusters, galactic halos and cosmological distances.
In 1968 I developed the concept of " globular cluster systems ". These are today the subject of very active researches the world over. Their value as cosmological distance indicators is well established. They also contribute to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
Telescopes and astronomical observatories, adaptive optics
The Canada-France-Hawai’i Telescope Corporation (1980-84) gave me the opportunity to put in operation an excellent large telescope at on of the best sites on Earth and to make it the best by the image quality it delivered. This contributed to develop in Canada a noted expertise in high resolution imaging and naturally led to recognized compentencies in adaptive optics.
Exo-Planets
Since the 90’s my work has been mostly in a the dautingly challenging study of exo-planets by direct imaging. The novel approaches and technologies we have developped to this end will soon allow this to become reality.
