Astronomy in the 21st century continues to be a vibrant science; the more so as each decade passes. With the new generation of telescopes that is being currently planned, it will be possible to look for habitable Earth-like planets; to the inner regions of circumstellar disks, revealing the mechanisms that drive planetary and stellar formation; to resolve dense stellar populations in the …
The massive binary system Eta Carinae will be passing through periastron on 17 February 2020, when it crosses the meridian around mid-night. This fact and the availability of particular ground-based observing facilities make this the best opportunity ever to monitor the associated spectroscopic and photometric variability. We plan to carry a dense time sampling of its spectrum through the…
High resolution spectroscopy is necessary, among other approaches, to derive chemical abundances from stars in galaxies of the Local Group. The same is valid for galaxy forming clouds projected against background Quasars. Such data enable the study of chemical evolution in neighbor galaxies and at high redshifts. The comparison between galaxies in the local universe with those at high red…

Title: Mechanical design applied to ground-based instrumentation for astronomyThis project aims to train a professional with unique expertise in mechanical engineering for astronomical instrumentation. The areas of activity will be on three possible fronts in different projects. The first is related to MANIFEST (Many-Instrument Fiber System), the robotic fiber optic positioning system tha…
The main goal of this post-doc project is to contribute to the planning and execution of the GMT multi-fiber feed, MANIFEST (Many-Instrument Fiber System), mainly on the optical and optomechanics design of parts of the instrument, therefore paving the way for deeper collaboration between Brazil and the leading institutions of MANIFEST in Australia. Within the MANIFEST project, it is expec…

We plan to test two scenarios of massive star formation -- disc accretion or coalescence of low mass stars -- from observations of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs). The first step is to identify those high mass objects (M> 8 MSun) that are associated with near-infrared outflows. The second step, consists on the measurement of the parameters of the outflows at their launching points …
A key ingredient missing from current formation and evolution theories of massive stars, and of cluster evolution, is a robust binary fraction and the intrinsic distributions of orbital parameters. The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS), which targeted 800 O- and B- stars in 30 Dor, was designed to detect most massive binaries with periods <200 d: the observed O-type binary fraction is 35…
We will observe 24 obscured Giant Galactic HII regions at the 4-m Blanco Telescope (CTIO), with ISPI camera, looking for young OB stars. The near-infrared color-color and color-magnitude diagrams will enable the identification of massive YSOs and naked photosphere OB stars, these ones candidates for follow up spectroscopy. K-band spectroscopy will enable the determination of the spectrofo…
