NIR jets from a clustered region of massive star formation: Morphology and composition in the IRAS 18264-1152 region

A. R. Costa Silva, R. Fedriani, J. C. Tan +6

Massive stars form deeply embedded in their parental clouds, making it challenging to directly observe these stars and their immediate environments. It is known that accretion and…

Metallicities in M dwarfs: Investigating different determination techniques

V. M. Passegger, A. Bello-García, J. Ordieres-Meré +17

Deriving metallicities for solar-like stars follows well-established methods, but for cooler stars such as M dwarfs, the determination is much more complicated due to forests of mo…
