Requisitions

The Institut de mécanique céleste et de calcul des éphémérides responds to requests for information of an official nature, which may be made by the State services within the framework of judicial inquiries. This can relate to any life event in which the circumstances of lighting or the direction of the Sun could have played a role (for example, traffic accidents).

The staff of the Conseil national des astronomes et physiciens (CNAP) prepare responses to inquiries and the director of IMCCE takes an oath on its validity. This work is part of the laboratory’s public service missions.
