Led by A. Moya, this research line focuses on characterizing exoplanetary systems through nonlinear asteroseismology and on ML applications for stellar parameter estimation. The group is actively involved in numerous space missions, playing an active role in ESA’s Plato and Ariel missions and taking a leadership position in the HAYDN mission proposal. Its research is structured into two main lines: nonlinear asteroseismology of δ Scuti stars, and stellar characterization through the application of ML techniques. In the former, the group pioneered nonlinear stellar pulsation equations to model complex frequency spectra beyond the scope of linear theory. The latter has gained significant strength over the past four years through the development of Bayesian hierarchical models to estimate stellar ages via the chemical clocks technique. As a result, Moya now co-leads the Stellar Mass, Radius, and Age WG of ESA’s Ariel mission and leads the development of MSAP1 in the Plato mission, a key module to enable the detection and characterization of exoplanets and their host stars, in collaboration with researchers from seven countries. Moya has also served as the Spanish PI of the ESA mission proposal HAYDN, an international initiative submitted to the M8 call. The Spanish consortium (IAA-CSIC, UGR, IAC, ICE, ICCUB, and UVEG) is coordinated by the GRACE group.
