On the direct determination of sensitivity, resolution and information content of helioseismic data application to the inversion of the solar core rotation rate
On the elusive detection of O-type stars close to the ZAMS: the empirical birthline of massive stars
In this contribution we present the results from a 1 homogeneous quantitative spectroscopic analysis of ∼400 Galactic O-type stars targeted by the IACOB and OWN...
On the evidence of extra mixing in models of 8 M⊙ computed with the new solar abundances
Stars more massive than about 3M⊙ are known to experience loops in the HR diagram during their core helium burning phase. Except for very massive stars the...
On the formation of fullerenes in H-rich circumstellar environments
Hydrogen depleted environments have been considered an essential requirement for the efficient formation of fullerene molecules in circumstellar/interstellar...
Here we report on the properties of the star forming factory, in which the continuous creation of stars results into a highly concentrated, massive (globular...
On the formation of molecules and solid-state compounds from the AGB to the PN phases
During the asymptoyic giant branch (AGB) phase, different elements are dredge- up to the stellar surface depending on progenitor mass and metallicity. When the...
