Descripción
We present preliminary results on the analysis of very deep echelle UVES (8m VLT) spectra of the Galactic H II region S311 (NGC 2467) located outside the Solar circle. The data cover from 3100 to 10450 Å with a resolution R ~ 8800. We have detected and measured more than 300 emission lines, some of them are faint recombination lines of heavy-element ions. We have derived the O abundances from OI and OII recombination lines and the C abundance from CII lines and an Ionization Correction Factor (ICF). This kind of observations will permit us to derive the Galactic abundance gradient of C and O from nebular recombination lines, which are almost independent on the real temperature structure of the nebula.

    Massive characterisation of subgiants and red giants with TESS (Kepler and Gaia)
    TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge. The advent of multiple sectors of data for most stars every two years with the extended

    a Study of Post-Agb Stars in the Light of GAIA DR3 Data
    Low and intermediate-mass stars evolve through the Post Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) phase before they reach the Planetary Nebulae stage. After leaving the Main Sequence, they undergo intense episodes of mass loss when in the Giant Branch and, then, they enter the post-AGB stage which is a rather puzzling stellar evolutionary phase . Also, it

    Unsupervised classification of RR Lyrae stars
    Big datasets are becoming increasingly important in astrophysics due to new surveys continuously observing our night sky. A prominent example of an observatory that will produce a large data stream is Vera C. Rubin LSST, designed to simultaneously monitor the southern night sky in six colors. Unsupervised machine learning (ML), a method of learning
