Descripción
Las estrellas de masa baja e intermedia (M < 8 masas solares, Ms) representan la mayoría de estrellas en el Cosmos y terminan sus vidas en la Rama Asintótica de las Gigantes (AGB) - justo antes de formar Nebulosas Planetarias (NPs) - cuando experimentan procesos nucleosintéticos y moleculares complejos. Las estrellas AGB son importantes contribuyentes al enriquecimiento del medio interestelar, donde nacen nuevas estrellas y planetas (incluyendo nuestro propio Sistema Solar Temprano, SST) y a la evolución química de sistemas estelares como cúmulos globulares (CGs) y galaxias. En particular, las AGBs más masivas (M > 4-5 Ms) sintetizan (radio)isótopos muy diferentes de los formados por AGBs menos masivas y explosiones de Supernova debido a los diferentes mecanismos de nucleosíntesis. Las estrellas evolucionadas en la fase de transición entre AGBs y NPs también forman diversos compuestos orgánicos como PAHs y nanoestructuras moleculares de fullereno y grafeno, siendo un maravilloso laboratorio Astroquímico. Colaboraciones astronómicas punteras como SDSS-IV/APOGEE-2 y el próximo telescopio espacial James Webb representan un paso fundamental para entender la nucleosíntesis y los procesos moleculares en estrellas evolucionadas. Se pretende explorar la nucleosíntesis de (radio)isótopos ligeros/pesados en estrellas AGB y como éstas contribuyen a la radioactividad del SST así como a la formación/evolución de CGs y galaxias. También se pretende entender el proceso de formación "top-down" de nanoestructuras moleculares de fullereno y grafeno en estrellas evolucionadas. Finalmente, se pretende realizar minería de datos obtenidos con el satélite Gaia, para estudiar la fase evolutiva AGB-NP, y además utilizar el telescopio espacial GALEX para descubrir estrellas binarias en NPs Galácticas.

Resultados
1. Durante 2020, se han publicado 37 artículos en revistas astronómicas internacionales con referee de alto impacto (incluyendo un review invitado), así como 2 artículos en la revista de Química-Física FNCN.
2. Se han descubierto, por primera vez, estrellas muy ricas en fósforo y cuyo patrón químico no es predicho por ninguna teoría actual de nucleosíntesis estelar.
3. Se ha demostrado que las estrellas ricas en fósforo representan un nuevo sitio estelar para la formación de elementos muy pesados, con importantes implicaciones para la evolución química de nuestra Galaxia.

A super-Earth and a mini-Neptune near the 2:1 MMR straddling the radius valley around the nearby mid-M dwarf TOI-2096Context. Several planetary formation models have been proposed to explain the observed abundance and variety of compositions of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. In this context, multitransiting systems orbiting low-mass stars whose planets are close to the radius valley are benchmark systems, which help to elucidate which formation model dominatesPozuelos, F.

A spectral classification system for hydrogen-deficient carbon starsStellar spectral classification has been highly useful in the study of stars. While there is a currently accepted spectral classification system for carbon stars, the subset of hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars has not been well described by such a system, due predominantly to their rarity and their variability. Here we present the first systemCrawford, Courtney L. et al.

The chemical characterization of halo substructure in the Milky Way based on APOGEEGalactic haloes in a Λ-CDM universe are predicted to host today a swarm of debris resulting from cannibalized dwarf galaxies. The chemodynamical information recorded in their stellar populations helps elucidate their nature, constraining the assembly history of the Galaxy. Using data from APOGEE and Gaia, we examine the chemical properties ofHorta, Danny et al.

The Gaia-ESO survey: Placing constraints on the origin of r-process elementsContext. A renewed interest in the origin of r-process elements has been stimulated by the multi-messenger observation of the gravitational event GW170817, with the detection of both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves corresponding to the merger of two neutron stars. Such a phenomenon has been proposed as one of the main sources of the rVan der Swaelmen, M. et al.

The intense production of silicates during the final AGB phases of intermediate mass starsContext. The formation of silicates in circumstellar envelopes of stars evolving through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is still highly debated given the uncertainties affecting stellar evolution modelling, the description of the dust formation process, and the capability of silicate grains to accelerate stellar outflows via radiation pressureMarini, E. et al.

Comparative analysis of atmospheric parameters from high-resolution spectroscopic sky surveys: APOGEE, GALAH, Gaia-ESOContext. SDSS-IV APOGEE-2, GALAH, and Gaia-ESO are high-resolution, ground-based, multi-object spectroscopic surveys providing fundamental stellar atmospheric parameters and multiple elemental abundance ratios for hundreds of thousands of stars of the Milky Way. Data from these and other surveys contribute to investigations of the history andHegedűs, Viola et al.

On the Presence of Metallofullerenes in Fullerene-rich Circumstellar EnvelopesThe presence of neutral C 60 fullerenes in circumstellar environments has been firmly established by astronomical observations as well as laboratory experiments and quantum-chemistry calculations. However, the large variations observed in the C 60 17.4 μm/18.9 μm band ratios indicate that either additional emitters should contribute to theBarzaga, R. et al.

HD 20329b: An ultra-short-period planet around a solar-type star found by TESSContext. Ultra-short-period (USP) planets are defined as planets with orbital periods shorter than one day. This type of planets is rare, highly irradiated, and interesting because their formation history is unknown. Aims: We aim to obtain precise mass and radius measurements to confirm the planetary nature of a USP candidate found by theLivingston, J. et al.

Is Terzan 5 the remnant of a building block of the Galactic bulge? Evidence from APOGEEIt has been proposed that the globular cluster-like system Terzan 5 is the surviving remnant of a primordial building block of the Milky Way bulge, mainly due to the age/metallicity spread and the distribution of its stars in the α-Fe plane. We employ Sloan Digital Sky Survey data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment toTaylor, Dominic J. et al.
