    An eclipsing double-line spectroscopic binary at the stellar/substellar boundary in the Upper Scorpius OB association
    Aims: We aim at constraining evolutionary models at low mass and young ages by identifying interesting transiting system members of the nearest OB association...

    An empirical spectral library of chemically well characterized stars for stellar population modelling
    With the goal of assembling a new generation of more realistic single stellar population (SSP) models, we have obtained magnesium abundances for nearly 80% of...
