Description
Star formation in massive clusters proceeds under the influence of the intense ionizing flux emitted by OB stars. Among the massive star forming regions in our Galaxy, Cygnus OB2 is the best available target to study these processes given its relative proximity and large content of OB and low-mass stars. We present our preliminary results on the photoevaporation of circumstellar disks in Cyg OB2 induced by the UV radiation emitted by OB stars.

Chemical Abundances in Stars
Stellar spectroscopy allows us to determine the properties and chemical compositions of stars. From this information for stars of different ages in the Milky Way, it is possible to reconstruct the chemical evolution of the Galaxy, as well as the origin of the elements heavier than boron, created mainly in stellar interiors. It is also possible to

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a
