Description
Low-resolution SDSS/SEGUE spectra have been used to study the behavior
of the strengths of the CN and CH molecular bands in stars at different
evolutionary stages of the open cluster NGC 6791. We find a significant
spread in the strengths of the CN bands, more than twice that expected
from the uncertainties, although the bimodalities observed in globular
clusters are not clearly observed here. This behavior is observed not
only among red clump objects but also in unevolved stars such as those
in the main sequence and lower red giant branch. In contrast, not all of
the stars studied show significant scatter in their CH strengths.

The general aim of the project is to research the structure, evolutionary history and formation of galaxies through the study of their resolved stellar populations, both from photometry and spectroscopy. The group research concentrates in the most nearby objects, namely the Local Group galaxies including the Milky Way and M33 under the hypothesis
