Research Topics • Evolutionary mixing processes: Evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars, from the pre- main-sequence to the He-burning phase. Mixing processes: dredge-ups, extra-mixing, rotation- induced mixing. Elemental abundances: Li, Be, B, 12C, 13C, N, O, and Na. • Chemical composition of planet-host stars: Planet-metallicity correlation, metallicity scale of giants and dwarfs hosting planets, chemical abundances and influence on planet formation, presence of planets and evolution of Li abundances. • Chemical evolution of the light elements Li and Be: Be as a cosmochronometer, the Spite plateau, Be relations with Fe and O and its flattening at low-metallicities (a Be plateau?), Li and Be in globular clusters (tracing the dilution-pollution scenario). • Galactic archaeology: Halo subpopulations (detailed chemical abundances { including Be), his- tories of star formation and chemical enrichment in the Galaxy, abundances as tracers of merg- ing/accretion events, thick disk formation. • Stellar nucleosynthesis (s-process): s-process enriched stars, at low- and solar-metallicity. Participation in Large Projects • Gaia-ESO Survey: A spectroscopic survey that is observing ∼105 Galactic stars with FLAMES at VLT/ESO. It was allocated 300 nights during 5 years (2011-2016). The Gaia-ESO consortium includes more than 400 astronomers. I am co-coordinator of the \UVES FGK Spectrum Analysis Working Group", a position of high responsibility and visibility. The working group is composed of ∼60 researchers from ∼20 institutes. We derive atmospheric parameters and elemental abundances of FGK stars observed in high-resolution (see Smiljanic et al. 2014). • Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE): MSE is a project to transform the CFHT 3.6m optical telescope into a 10m class dedicated multi-object spectroscopy (able to obtain thousands of spectra with resolution between 2,000 and 20,000). Science operations are expected for 2025. I have recently (August 2018) become a member of the MSE science team. The science team has been tasked with a revision of the detailed science case and the development of the first phase of the MSE Design Reference Survey (DRS). The DRS is planned as a 2 year observing campaign that will demonstrate the science impact of MSE. • WG on Cosmostatistics: I am a member of the Working Group on Cosmostatistics of the In- ternational Astrostatistics Association. The group aims to foster the collaboration between as- tronomers and statisticians. I am leading a project on the use of machine learning techniques to identify and separate stellar populations using results of large spectroscopic surveys. 2 Rodolfo Smiljanic Students and post-docs: supervision on-going • Supervisor of PhD student at Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center: Andr´eRodrigo da Silva (since Dec. 2019) • Supervisor of Post-doc at Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center: Riano I.

MACIEL Departamento de Astronomia Universidade de S˜ao Paulo Rua do Mat˜ao 1226 Cidade Universit´aria S˜ao Paulo SP, CEP 05508-090, Brazil [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. A historical background combined with political decisions along time explain the increasing importance of Brazil in the world’s astronomical scenario. Professional astronomy was triggered in the late sixties and early seventies by the two main historical institutions then existing (ON and IAG/USP1), together with the creation of agencies for research and com- bined with individual actions. There are presently 670 astronomers working in the country, including permanent jobs and graduate students. A brief description of observational facilities and plans to increase access to other facilities is presented. 1. Historical Background The discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese led by Pedro Alvares´ Cabral took place on April 22, 1500. For about 300 years the colonialist approach of the Portuguese consisted basically in the exploitation of the newly found land, especially by extracting gold, precious stones, wood, and whatever goods the country would produce, with very little concern for the educa- tion and development of its largely transient population. As a consequence, no higher learning institutions were founded, and even by the 19th century affluent “Brazilians” would have to take their studies in Europe. There- fore, practically no science was developed in the country, with some very few exceptions, in particular concerning the activities of the Jesuits of the 1 See the list of abbreviations at the end of the paper.

We have observed HD 122563 for infrared OH lines at 1.5–1.7 lm in the H band with the NIRSPEC high-resolution spectrograph at the 10 m Keck Telescope. Optical spectra were obtained with the UVES spectrograph at the 8 m VLT UT2 telescope at ESO (Paranal) and the FEROS spectrograph at ESO (La Silla).

MACIEL Departamento de Astronomia Universidade de S˜ao Paulo Rua do Mat˜ao 1226 Cidade Universit´aria S˜ao Paulo SP, CEP 05508-090, Brazil [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. A historical background combined with political decisions along time explain the increasing importance of Brazil in the world’s astronomical scenario. Professional astronomy was triggered in the late sixties and early seventies by the two main historical institutions then existing (ON and IAG/USP1), together with the creation of agencies for research and com- bined with individual actions. There are presently 670 astronomers working in the country, including permanent jobs and graduate students. A brief description of observational facilities and plans to increase access to other facilities is presented. 1. Historical Background The discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese led by Pedro Alvares´ Cabral took place on April 22, 1500. For about 300 years the colonialist approach of the Portuguese consisted basically in the exploitation of the newly found land, especially by extracting gold, precious stones, wood, and whatever goods the country would produce, with very little concern for the educa- tion and development of its largely transient population. As a consequence, no higher learning institutions were founded, and even by the 19th century affluent “Brazilians” would have to take their studies in Europe. There- fore, practically no science was developed in the country, with some very few exceptions, in particular concerning the activities of the Jesuits of the 1 See the list of abbreviations at the end of the paper.
