This work presents the determination of the effective temperature, gravity, metallicity, mass, luminosity and age of 27 young early-type stars, most of them in the age range 1-10 Myr, and three -suspected- hot companions of post-T Tauri…

{We explored the {softness parameter} in the infrared, whose main purpose is the characterisation of the hardness of the incident ionising radiation in emission-line nebulae. This parameter is obtained from the combination of mid-infrared…

The near-surface layers of cool main-sequence stars are structured by convective flows, which are overshooting into the atmosphere. The flows and the associated spatio-temporal variations of density and temperature affect spectral line…

Context: The full spectrum fitting of stellar spectra against a library of empirical spectra is a well-established approach to measure the atmospheric parameters of FGK stars with a high internal consistency. Extending it towards cooler…

Large Galactic stellar surveys and new generations of stellar atmosphere models and spectral line formation computations need to be subjected to careful calibration and validation and to benchmark tests. We focus on cool stars and aim at…

The advent of large-scale spectroscopic surveys underscores the need to develop robust techniques for determining stellar properties ("labels", i.e., physical parameters and elemental abundances). However, traditional spectroscopic methods…

The increasing number of spectra gathered by spectroscopic sky surveys and transiting exoplanet follow-up has pushed the community to develop automated tools for atmospheric stellar parameters determination. Here we present a novel approach…
