Understanding the evolution of the Milky Way calls for the precise abundance determination of many elements in many stars. A common perception is that deriving more than a few elemental abundances ([Fe/H], [$\alpha$/Fe], perhaps [C/H],…
We propose a new method for determination of element abundances in stellar atmospheres aimed for the automatic processing of high-quality stellar spectra. The pan-spectral method is based on weighted cumulative line-widths Q of studied…

Upcoming large-scale spectroscopic surveys such as WEAVE and 4MOST will provide thousands of spectra of massive stars, which need to be analysed in an efficient and homogeneous way. Studies on massive stars are usually based on samples of a…
Context. The homogenization of the stellar parameters is an important goal for large observational spectroscopic surveys, but it is very difficult to achieve it because of the diversity of the spectroscopic analysis methods used within a…
In the past years we have made great efforts to reduce the statistical and systematic uncertainties in stellar parameter and chemical abundance determinations of early B-type stars. Both the construction of robust model atoms for non-LTE…
Many abundance studies are based on spectrum synthesis and $\chi$-squared differences between the synthesized and an observed spectrum. Much of the spectra so compared depend only weakly on the elemental abundances. Logarithmic plots of…
We describe an automatic procedure for determining abundances from high resolution spectra. Such procedures are becoming increasingly important as large amounts of data are delivered from 8m telescopes and their high-multiplexing fiber…

A variety of physical processes leading to different types of pulsations and chemical compositions is observed among A- and F-type stars. To investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for these processes in stars with similar…
We have used a combination of stellar population synthesis and photoionization models to develop a set of ionization parameter and abundance diagnostics based only on the use of the strong optical emission lines. These models are applicable…
Interstellar molecules, which play an important role in astrochemistry, are identified using observed spectral lines. Despite the advent of spectral analysis tools in the past decade, the identification of spectral lines remains a tedious…
The plethora of spectra of OB-type stars in observatory archives and the much larger numbers to come from the WEAVE and 4MOST spectroscopic facilities require efficient, but also accurate and precise methods for (semi)automatic quantitative…
Resolved kinematical information, such as from molecular gas in star forming regions, is obtained from spectral line observations. However, these observations often contain multiple line-of-sight components, making estimates harder to…
The advent of new and more powerful infrared spectrographs has significantly motivated the advancement of the study of atomic and molecular line lists and stellar atmosphere models. While optical abundance determinations rely on extensively…
(abridged) We develop a tool for the automated spectral classification of OB stars according to their sub-types. We use the regular Random Forest (RF) algorithm, the Probabilistic RF (PRF), and we introduce the KDE-RF method which is a…
The main goal of this work is to explore which elements carry the most information about the birth origin of stars and as such that are best suited for chemical tagging. We explored different techniques to minimize the effect of outlier…
As the multiplexing power of spectroscopic instruments increases, so does the need for automated analysis. In practice, the bottleneck for speed is the calculation of model spectra to evaluate the likelihood of candidate parameters. This…
