La investigación del Centro de Astrofísica, en Planetas y Formación Estelar cubre las siguientes áreas:
Investigadores:
Docentes: Matthias Schreiber - Jura Borissova - Radostin Kurtev - Nikolaus Vogt - Amelia Bayo
Our team studies massive stars in general and Be, B[e] and SG in particular. Our approach is both theoretical and observational.
M. Curé is responsible for the theoretical part where he studies and develops different hydrodynamical methods to study winds and mass loss. Our team is expert in developing codes such as HydWind as well as using and ameliorating different state of the art codes such as SIMECA, MC3D, FastWind, CMFGEN and HDUST.
Responsible in the applications part is S. Kanaan where different observations programs are active in order to understand the mass loss of massive stars in general and Be and B[e] stars disk formation in particular.
In the observational part we are conducting a spectroscopic survey on Be stars as well as interferometric (VLTI) observations in order to constrain the disk geometry and its Kinematics.
Our group is working with different collaborators from around the globe combining theory and observations which will allow us to better understand these fascinating objects that play an important role in the enrichment of our Universe by heavy elements as well as the understanding of star evolution

Research on Stellar Astrophysics in the Centro de Astrofísica covers the following areas:
A large number of stars are born as members of multiple star systems and in a significant fraction of these the stellar components interact during their life. These binary star interactions lead to the formation of some of the most interesting and fascinating objects in our Galaxy such as for example black hole binaries, cataclysmic variables, hot subdwarfs, or millisecond pulsars. In addition, close compact binaries are thought to produce the most powerful explosions in the Universe (short Gamma-ray bursts) and supernova Ia which have led to discovery of dark energy.
The investigators in this area cover:
Cataclysmic Variables and Novas
Compact Binary Star Evolution and SN Ia Progenitors
