Antoniadis, S. Athanasiou, G. Maravelias, M. Yang, E. Zapartas The ASSESS project aims to determine the role of episodic mass-loss …
The Institute for Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IAASARS) of the National Observatory of Athens invites applications for 1 postdoctoral position on modeling evolved massive stars in nearby galaxies in the framework of the ERC consolidator grant titled “Episodic Mass Loss in Massive Stars: Key to Understanding the …
Gonzalo Munoz-Sanchez traveled to Tenerife (Spain) for a week in September (5-9), to participate in the XV scientific meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society. There he presented his work from the reduction of GTC multi-object spectroscopic data we have obtained for NCG 6822 and IC 10 galaxies. The poster is …
A machine-learning photometric classifier for massive stars in nearby galaxies I. The method Grigoris Maravelias, Alceste Z. Bonanos, Frank Tramper, Stephan de Wit, Ming Yang, Paolo Bonfini Context. Mass loss is a key parameter in the evolution of massive stars. Despite the recent progress in the theoretical understanding of how …
The ASSESS team is joining the IAUS 366 “On the Origin of Outflows in Evolved Stars”, organized virtually from Nov 1-5. Alceste will give an overview (Wednesday, Nov. 3, @12:20 UTC) of the ASSESS project followed by the advance we have achieved over the last years, as first results are …
The Institute for Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IAASARS) of the National Observatory of Athens invites applications for 1 PhD position on characterizing evolved, dusty massive stars in nearby galaxies. The aim of the project is to determine whether episodic mass loss is a dominant process in the …
