Departures from Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium in stellar atmospheres and their impact on the interpretation of astronomical observations
An sizable fraction of present-day astrophysics is based on physical models of stellar atmospheres, which allow us to interpret observations of planets, stars...
Detecting farside active regions with Deep Learning
The identification of active regions in the far-side of the Sun by analyzing the oscillations on the Earth-side is one of the most impressive results from local...
Detection and characterization of Earth-like planets in nearby stars
Based on statistics provided by the Kepler space mission and searches performed with Doppler techniques, super-Earth and Earth-like exoplanets (Rp ~ 0.8-2 times...
