The Galactic bulge is the most complex region of the Milky Way. Over the past 20 years, we have been analyzing various samples, focusing par ticularly on stellar chemical abundances and kinematical properties. For a comprehensive analysis of these samples, an important new element is to complementour results with the proper motion data from the Gaia mission, computing precise distances wi…
In the last years priority was given to equipments for informatics, and in the last RTI priority was given to the acquisition of 2 cars for field work particularly important for geophysics, and maintenance and change of pieces of the Estação Meteorológica. In this RTI we are demanding itens of equipaments for laboratories, and other itens described below: The total amount of the RTI-Fapes…
Cars for fieldwork and repair of equipments:The itens requested include two Pick-up for fieldwork and funds for maintenance of the da meteorological Tower of IAG.Two Pick-up are needed for fieldwork in Applied Geophysics, in their studies of exploration of mineral resources. Some examples are: silting of rivers and lakes in the Pantanal basin at Mato Grosso (Coxim-MT); studies of arqueol…

This RTI, in the amount of BRL 567,955.60, corresponds to the IAG portion of variousprojects coordinated by the Institute's professors. Its use was discussed by the set.of professors in the Congregation and in the three Departments and will contemplate the purchaseof servers and storage to enable the virtualization of a significant part of theInstitute's IT services.

The objective of this proposal is the study of star clusters in the Galactic bulge, and in the Magellanic Clouds, with the aim of better understanding the formation of the bulge, and the interactions between the Clouds and the Milky Way, and as well on the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Magellanic Clouds. We will use data from the Hubble Space Telescope, of exceptional spatial re…
The aim is to work on the writing of the invited review for the Annual Review of Astronomy & Astrophysics, entitled Chemodynamical evolution of the Galactic bulge. The authors are Beatriz Barbuy, Cristina Chiappini and Ortwin Gerhard. These invited reviews are of great importance, and require much dedication, reading papers and interaction among the authors, in order to be able to write a…

A fundamental aspect of advances in astrophysics relies on the quality and precision of data collected by high-performance instruments, such as the multi-object spectrograph MOSAIC (Multi-Object Spectrograph for Astrophysics, Inter-galacticmedium studies and Cosmology), designed for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) - the largest telescope in the world operating in the optical/near-infr…
The Galactic bulge is the most complex region of the Galaxy, because it was the first structure to be formed, but after that other stellar populations occupy this region such as the thin and thick disksand halo, besides the formation of the bar that caused transfer of gas and stars from the disk to the inner Galaxy. Moreover, accretion of dwarf galaxies took place, of which stellar popula…

Stellar clusters are ubiquitous in all luminous galaxies and can be used as tracers of galaxy formation and evolution if we understand their growth and assembly into their host systems. To this end, issues yet open in our understanding of these objects need to be investigated. Stellar population (SP) models have yet to properly predict properties of globular clusters (GCs) outside our Gal…
The Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES), is the forthcoming ESO VLT spectrograph to be installed at one Cassegrain focus of the VLT with the goal of covering with a high efficiency the UV ground-based region (300 - 400 nm) with intermediate resolution (about 20K).CUBES is a multinational project from ESO partners and Brazil, which is represented here by IAG/USP and LNA/MCTI. …

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) occur when a supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretes matter in a considerable rate. Therefore, such objects need the feeding of matter in order to become active. Studies show that there are correlations between the central SMBH and some parameters of their host galaxies, what suggest a co-evolution between galaxies and their central SMBHs. The feeding mechani…
