New StarDance position: "StarDance: caratterizzazione di popolazioni di stelle binarie in ammassi stellari e connessione con il problema delle popolazioni multiple"

Topics: Search and characterization of binary stars in star clusters, by means of photometric and spectroscopic time series, analysis of the collected stellar population data as a function of the host environment properties, with particular attention to the multiple populations's phenomenon. Where required, use of stellar spectroscopy for the abundance and kinematic analysis and stellar photometry in crowded stellar fields, from the ground and from space, including the use of adaptive optics facilities.

Candidates with at least one of the following will be preferred: 

       (i) properties and evolution of binary star systems, in star clusters (open and globular) and in other environments

(ii) search and characterization of binary stars by means of photometric and spectroscopic time series (plus astrometric ones) 

(iii) characterization of binary star populations in different environments and correlation with the host system properties

(iv) spectroscopic techniques to derive accurate abundances and radial velocities

(v) photometry (and astrometry) of crowded stellar fields, from the ground and space, also by means of adaptive optics
