TalkOptical and NIR studies of short period low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB)
I present some recent results from our Optical and NIR studies of five short period low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB's; X1822-371, X1957+115, UW CrB, X1916-05 and...

TalkPart 1: A supernova search in starburst galaxies & Part 2: Starbursts and EMIR project
With the aim of testing the relation between supernova (SN) rate and star formation rate, we conducted a SN search in a sample of local starburst galaxies (SBs)...

TalkPhotometric study of Pre-Main Sequence Stars in massive star-burst clusters
Current planet formation theories are bound to comply with the observational constraint that protoplanetary disks have lifetime of ~3 Myr. This timescale is...

TalkPhysical Characterization of Brown Dwarfs
The initial mass function describes the distribution of masses for a population of stars and substellar objects when they are born. It defines the evolution of...

TalkPopulation synthesis of massive stars with compact companions in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Most high mass X-ray binaries contain neutron stars as companions to an OB star, while high mass black hole binaries are very rare. We use rapid binary...

TalkPopulations of rotating stars
We will start by recalling the effects of rotation on stellar evolution and briefly explain its implementation in a stellar evolution code. We will present a...
