Research
Massive stars, stellar winds, Be stars, line variability.
My research focuses on studying the variability of Be stars, disk and stellar parameters, their rate of mass loss, and their connection with disk formation. To do this, we created the BeSOS website: https://besos.ifa.uv.cl, which contains reduced HR spectra of southern Be stars observed with the PUCHEROS spectrograph. We restrict the star parameters of 71 Be stars using stellar atmosphere modeling. Projected rotation speeds were obtained for all spectra, as well as EW, DPS, V / R in the H-alpha line.
