Over the last few weeks we have received some valuable help from two new students that joined our team. Anna Philippopoulou joined the team directly after high school and just before starting her studies in Physics at the University of Oxford (UK). She is helping with checking RSGs in NGC …
Another successful ESO proposal! We managed to get about 1.5 nights for cycle P112, and in visitor mode! So, now that we are free to travel, we will have the PhD students Gonzalo Munoz-Sanchez (PI of the project) and Evangelia Christodoulou to travel to Paranal and observe from there. The …
During 26-28 of July (2023), the ASSESS group actively participated in the 16th Hellenic Astronomical Conference, held in Athens. In total, we had three talks and five posters accepted. Alceste Bonanos provided an overview of the “Results of the ASSESS project: Episodic Mass Loss in Evolved Massive Stars: Key to …
