Science
De par sa conception l’instrument MUSE ouvre un champ d’investigation énorme : formation et évolution des galaxies, population stellaire dans les galaxies proches, trous noirs super massifs, jeunes étoiles and planètes et petits corps. Il permet donc d’étudier de nombreux (…)

Solar System
The MUSE narrow field mode with its very high spatial resolution is ideally suited to the spatially resolved spectroscopy of solar system bodies. While much more detail can obviously be obtained by space probes, one visit is not the whole story given the significant evolution with time of (…)

Formation and evolution of Galaxies
The main target of the MUSE surveys is to find and study the building blocks of the local, normal galaxies such as our Milky Way, at an epoch when the universe was typically 1 Gyr old. The observation of such objects will be of great value to clarify the way galaxies form. In the commonly (…)

Nearby Galaxies
MUSE will make significant contributions to our understanding of nearby galaxies, making use of both the high-resolution mode, to resolve the complex structures of galaxy nuclei, measure black-hole masses, and perform crowded-field spectrophotometry in local objects ; and also of the wide-field (…)

Stars and Resolved Stellar Populations
MUSE will contribute to the understanding of a number of areas which are the subject of much current research through the observations of marginally resolved stellar groups and aggregates.
MUSE will be an amazing tool for the study of large-scale jets in young stellar objects. Its combination (…)
