BLUE STRAGGLERS AFTER THE MAIN SEQUENCE [PDF]
We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases. We found that the blue straggler progeny populate the colour-magnitude diagram slightly blueward of the red giant branch and between 0.2 and 1 ...

Abundances on the Main Sequence of ω Centauri [PDF]
Abundance ratios of carbon, nitrogen and strontium relative to iron, calculated using spectrum synthesis techniques, are given for a sample of main sequence and turnoff stars that belong to the globular cluster omega Centauri. The variations of carbon, nitrogen and/or strontium show several different abundance patterns as a function of [Fe/H].

The ages of pre-main-sequence stars [PDF]
The position of pre-main-sequence or protostars in the Hertzsprung--Russell diagram is often used to determine their mass and age by comparison with pre-main-sequence evolution tracks. On the assumption that the stellar models are accurate, we demonstrate that, if the metallicity is known, the mass obtained is a good estimate.

Pre-Main-Sequence A-type stars [PDF]
Young A-type stars in the pre--main-sequence (PMS) evolutionary phase are particularly interesting objects since they cover the mass range (1.5-4 solar ma sses) which is most sensitive to the internal conditions inherited during the protostellar phase. In particular, they undergo a process of thermal relaxation from which they emerge as fully radiative

Asteroseismology of Stars on the Upper Main Sequence [PDF]
I review the properties of pulsators located on the upper main sequence in the HR diagram and discuss asteroseismic inferences on the internal structure of stars of spectral type A and B. Special attention is given to the problem of uncertainties in stellar opacities in modelling.

Duplicity on the main sequence [PDF]
AbstractA review paper or a lecture like the following one, will best serve ‘its’ conference by giving an overview of the basic facts, and an impartial review of current debates, also by trying to point out some apparently crucial questions whose solutions, we hope, will determine the line of future research.Because these stars are essentially ...
