At #IAUS395, the SAGA Team presented the project "Playing CHESS with stars", where we are developing a new pipeline that aims to obtain accurate and precise stellar parameters and abundances for large sets of spectra.

The Ph.D. student Sergen Özdemir presented preliminary results of an investigation of stars in globular clusters, using Gaia and UVES spectra. The general principles of the CHESS pipeline were presented by the P.I. of the team.

Our project is supported by Narodowe Centrum Nauki

Last week two members of the SAGA Team attended the #IAUS395 "Stellar populations in the Milky Way and beyond" at the city of Paraty in Brazil.

This fantastic conference covered the latest developments in the field coming from large stellar surveys, new instrumentation like JWST, and the new generation of cosmological simulations.

It was amazing to listen to and meet so many of the key names in the area but also to many of the young researchers that are pushing the field forward!
