contents We investigate the observability properties of the Baouendi-Grushin equation on a tensorized domain $Ω:= \mathcal{B}_R \times \tilde Ω$, where $\mathcal{B}_R$ is the open ball of radius $R$ in dimension $d \ge 2$, and $\tilde Ω$ is a smooth, bounded, open set of arbitrary dimension. Our main result is a precise calculation of the minimal observability time $T^*$, for tensorized observation sets of the form $ω\times \tilde Ω$, with $ω\subset \mathcal{B}_R$ (internal observation), and $Γ\times \tilde Ω$, with $Γ\subset \partial \mathcal{B}_R$ (boundary observation). The main novelty regards the sufficient condition, that is observability of the system when $T>T^*$. This is established by combining refined observability inequalities on the annulus--or the entire boundary--using Carleman estimates, together with a Lebeau-Robbiano strategy to localize the observation sets.
