It is also a specialist in the exploration of the Solar system by the space probes of which it followed all the history since many years. It was in particular interested in the rings of giant planets and worked out one of the principal models concerning the Saturn's rings. In 1984, he discovered, in company in particular Bruno Sicardy and of William Hubbard, the rings and the arcs of Neptune, five years before their photographic confirmation by the probe Voyager.
