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 …
Stella Avgousti is joining the ASSESS team, to work on the cross matching of the most recent Gaia data with products of the project. In particular, she will test the predictions of the machine-learning classifier with spectra provided by the Gaia space mission.
Aimilia Tsopela joined the ASSESS team as a summer student (2022), to gain experience with astronomical observations and fitting with DUSTY.
Stathis Athanasiou joined the ASSESS team recently. He is mainly working on target cross-matching with Hubble Space Telescope images, so that we can retrieve more information for our sources.
We welcome onboard the ASSESS team Manos Zapartas, who specializes in stellar evolution and will contribute to the theoretical interpretation.
Evangelia Christodoulou and Konstantinos Antoniadis are the two new PhD students that joined our group on February. Both of them will work on the analysis of the data collected over the previous successful runs in order to understand better the episodic mass loss.
Recently we had a few changes in our group: Frank moved to the Institute of Astronomy, KU Leuven, while Gonzalo Muñoz Sanchez joined the team as a new PhD student.
