Black holes (BHs) are the pinnacle of extreme gravity. They are responsible for the most violent phenomena observed in the Universe, from long gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events to gravitational waves (GW). Despite the recent growth in extragalactic BH discoveries by LIGO-VIRGO, our knowledge of the seed BH population is severely hindered by

Accurate linelists for exoplanet and very cool stars studies
We are in the golden age for exoplanets studies, with currently several thousands of exoworlds discovered. Because of their low brightness and their large number, M dwarfs (~70% of stars) represent privileged targets to look for exoplanets. By essence, those objects are also cool objects, emitting significant fraction of their light in the infrared
