Gas and dust from solar metallicity AGB stars
We study the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) evolution of stars with masses between 1 M⊙and8.5 M⊙. We focus on stars with a solar chemical composition, which...
Draco C1 is a known symbiotic binary star system composed of a carbon red giant and a hot, compact companion—likely a white dwarf—belonging to the Draco dwarf...
GJ 806 (TOI-4481): A bright nearby multi-planetary system with a transiting hot low-density super-Earth
One of the main scientific goals of the TESS mission is the discovery of transiting small planets around the closest and brightest stars in the sky. Here, using...
Global and Nonglobal Parameters of Horizontal-branch Morphology of Globular Clusters
The horizontal-branch (HB) morphology of globular clusters (GCs) is mainly determined by metallicity. However, the fact that GCs with almost the same...
Gradients of chemical abundances in the Milky Way from H II regions: distances derived from Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and temperature inhomogeneities
We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of He, C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in the Milky Way using the deep optical spectra of 42 H II regions...
Gran Telescopio Canarias observations of an overdense region of Lyman α emitters at z = 6.5
We present the results of our search near the end of the Reionization Epoch for faint galaxies. This has been done using very deep OSIRIS images obtained at the...
Ramón y Cajal contract to develop his research work in the specific research project "Nucleosynthesis and molecular processes in the last stages of stellar...
