We explore the rotation and activity of very low mass (VLM) objects by means of a photometric variability study. Our targets in the vicinity of Epsilon Ori belong to the OriOB1b population in the Orion star-forming complex. In this region…

In their early, formative stages star clusters can undergo rapid dynamical evolution leading to strong gravitational interactions and ejection of "runaway" stars at high velocities. While O/B runaway stars have been well studied, lower-mass…

We report on the results of an I-band time-series photometric survey of NGC 2547 using the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope with WFI, achieving better than 1% photometric precision per data point over 14 <~ I <~ 18. Candidate cluster members were…

We present detailed analyses of updated eclipse timing diagrams for 32 contact binary merger candidates in the Galactic bulge. The photometric data was obtained from 2016 to 2021 using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) with…

In this work, we analysed young stellar clusters with spatial and kinematic coherence in the Orion star-forming complex. For this study, we selected a sample of pre-main sequence candidates using parallaxes, proper motions and positions on…

We derive the effective temperatures and gravities of 461 OB stars in 19 young clusters by fitting the H-gamma profile in their spectra. We use synthetic model profiles for rotating stars to develop a method to estimate the polar gravity…

The Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) is the nearest dense star-forming region at $\sim$400 pc away, making it an ideal target to study the impact of high stellar density and proximity to massive stars (the Trapezium) on protoplanetary disk…

We have searched the Kepler light curves of ~3900 M-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate, by means of the effects of starspots, rapid stellar rotation. Several analysis techniques, including Fourier transforms,…
