Triggered star formation on the borders of H II regions
The formation of massive stars is not fully understood. The high luminosity and temperature of massive protostars complicate the accretion mechanism at work in...
Unveiling the inner Milky Way globular cluster system
A serious limitation in the study of the Galactic inner halo and bulge globular clusters has been the existence of large and differential extinction by...
Very Low Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs and Gas Giant Exoplanets
Understanding the atmospheric and evolutive properties of very low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and gas giant exoplanets have been important challenges for...
What spectra of massive B-stars can tell us about their binary and pulsational properties
Spectroscopy is a powerful tool to unravel the nature of stellar bodies. For instance, spectra can be used to derive the temperature, gravity, and chemical...
