Offer Description

The goal of the project is the homogeneous characterization of the kinematics, ages and chemical abundances of open clusters and cluster groups of all ages, in the local disk investigating their formation, evolution and relation with the field stars, and with the Galaxy. To this aim, the data of the ESA Gaia space mission will be coupled with high quality spectroscopic ground based data by the new generation spectrograph WEAVE at the WHT. This work will pave the way to the scientific exploitation of future ground based surveys and instruments such as Rubin-LSST, 4MOST, MOONS and MSE on which our team is involved. The project is embedded in an international and diverse ecosystem: the PhD student will be exposed to large international collaborations such as Gaia, WEAVE, 4MOST, Rubin-LSST. The selected person will be enrolled at the PhD School in Astronomy of the Padova University.
