Galactic Astronomy, Gravitation and Cosmology    

The projects are based on photometric and spectroscopic observations obtained from databases and own observations through time requests to professional telescopes. Since 2015 the interest of the group is focused on star formation in a broad mass spectrum. An additional interest of the group consists in supporting the site search and installation of a mountain station for astronomical observations in the country. For about a decade we have been working in the area of cosmology, with emphasis on the use of methodologies to involve modern problems of cosmology to the research of the group, this has led to develop own lines and problems which have resulted in the contribution of several international publications in the area of extended theories of gravity, cosmological perturbations and primordial magnetic fields.
