Sara Vitali

I am currently working on my PhD thesis about studying the structure and evolution of the Milky Way and its satellites. Specifically, I am interested in characterizing the chemical evolution of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy.

Current position: PhD student

Proyectos:

My main project focuses on studying the chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Using spectroscopic analysis, I aim to investigate its stellar populations to trace their history and examine the role of interactions with the Milky Way. Additionally, I utilize stellar spectroscopy and chemical abundance analysis to study Galactic stellar populations, aiming to understand their history and evolution through techniques such as chemical clocks and age calibration methods.

Aspectos destacados:

  • I am an active member of the Pristine Survey and the Gaia Benchmark Star Collaboration- 
  • I participated in the ESO studentship program and a studentship at the Nordic Optical Telescope, where I worked as a student support astronomer.-
  • My PhD is funded by an ANID scholarship.

Actividades extracurriculares:

I am very keen on outdoor activities, such as trekking and climbing. I am interested in outreach activities that can put me in contact with realities other than academic ones (such as schools or other cultural environments).
