With increasing distance fainter stars, and therefore those of lower luminosity, older populations, become less observable. This means that with increasing distance we actually probe different parts of a Color-Magnitude diagram (CMD), which mainly consists of the brightest and more evolved massive stars. This is best shown in this figure …
This is the paper that describes the ASSESS project for which I have been working since 2018 ! Introducing the ASSESS project: Episodic Mass Loss in Evolved Massive Stars – Key to Understanding the Explosive Early Universe A.Z. Bonanos, G. Maravelias, M. Yang, F. Tramper, S. de Wit, E. Zapartas, …
Between 26-28 of July (2023), I managed to participate in-person the 16th Hellenic Astronomical Conference, held in Athens. I personally contributed with one talk and one poster (long gone the days that I would submit two talks!), which was part of the ASSESS group’s contribution with another two talks, and …
Although I thought at the beginning that this would be a quick paper, it took considerable time to complete! Thanks a lot to Stephan that did significant work with figures I was able to focus on the text and the discussion. This is the first work to reveal B[e] Supergiants …
It was back in 2020 during the pandemic that the first call for the XShootU collaboration was sent. I had really little idea of what would follow, but I fount it definitely motivating to participate. Therefore I volunteer to help with the data reduction. After 2.5 years we are getting …

Here comes the announcement of the third (already!) iteration of our Summer School for Astrostatistics in Crete! This is an in-person meeting, as it focus on the practical use of statistics and machine learning in academic research. We will supply all the necessary guidelines through Astronomical problems. Check the website …
Getting observing time needs both a good proposal and some … luck! Although I have been into many proposals (with some of them written by me actually) I did not have the excitement to get it as PI. The time has finally come now!! At the current observing period of …
A proceedings paper from IAUS 366 that took place virtually back in October 2021 (for which I had another poster contribution) was finally published at the end of 2022. It summarizes a collective work led by Michaela on B[e] Supergiants and Yellow Hypergiants, two massive star phases where we observe …
The biggest issue when dealing with multiple projects is how to keep track of the various Python and other packages’ versions you are using in each project. It is not uncommon to update something and get something else broken… The solution is virtual environments. And for these there are few …
