Spectroscopic observations of massive stars (i.e., those more massive than 8 solar masses) allow astronomers to study their rapid evolution, which occurs on much shorter timescales compared to solar mass stars, and the impact of parameters such as stellar rotation on their evolution. To achieve this, observations of stellar clusters are greatly valuable, as they are groups of stars formed
Pre-Main Sequence stars are young stars whose nuclei are still not hot enough to trigger the thermonuclear reactions that will produce energy for the rest of their existence. Some of these stars are called “T Tauri”, and they are surrounded by a protoplanetary disk made of gas and dust, where planetary systems may form. T Tauri stars were classified for
Stellar X-ray emission arises from their corona, which is the outer part of stellar atmosphere with low-density high-temperature (up to million degrees) plasma. Even if we lack a fully understanding of the details, we know that the intensity of stellar X-ray emission depends on the intensity and the morphology of stellar magnetic field. The interior of stars of FGK
