Our main research topics focus on the study of massive stars, planetary systems, and compact objects such as white dwarfs and neutron stars:

•⁠ ⁠Examples of massive stars include spectral type O, B, and A supergiants, as well as Be-type stars. The study of stellar winds expelled by these stars provides clues about their dynamics and the chemical enrichment of their surrounding environment. Our research is based on the use of hydrodynamic codes, spectral analysis, and theoretical modeling.

•⁠ ⁠A planetary system consists of objects orbiting a central star or stellar system. These objects can include planets, asteroids, comets, planetesimals, and dust, among others. One of the main objectives of studying these systems is to improve our understanding of their origin and evolution, diversity, and habitable zones. We study these systems through hydrodynamic and dynamical simulations, combined with theoretical modeling.

•⁠ ⁠White dwarfs and neutron stars are compact stellar remnants: the former correspond to the degenerate cores of low-mass stars, while the latter are the ultradense result of a supernova collapse. These objects are associated with some of the most energetic and extreme astrophysical events, such as X-ray binaries, pulsars, supernovae, and gamma-ray bursts. Our work combines theoretical explorations with numerical models applied to various astrophysical scenarios where these objects play a fundamental role.

Astrophysics research is not limited to studying stars and planets in isolation. In our group, we seek synergies between these two areas, for example, by exploring how stars influence the formation and evolution of planetary systems, thus achieving a more comprehensive understanding of the studied phenomena.
