The project "Observational Tests of the Processes of Nucleosynthesis in the Universe" (3I2304), is supported by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.

The group is composed by 9 researchers although we keep an active collaboration with researchers of other institutes. We are working in three mayor areas:

Chemical abundances of secondary stars in low mass X-ray binaries with the aim of obtaining information on the link between compact objects and their progenitor stars in these systems

Chemical composition of the atmospheres of metal poor stars aimed at investigating the chemical evolution of the Galaxy and the nucleosynthetic yields of supernovae

The study of the chemical abundances in planet-host stars and metal rich stars without known gravitationally bound giant planets to understand the important role that the global metallicity plays in the formation of planetary systems
