The Stellar Association LH 99 [PDF]
The stellar content of this stellar association, related to the supernova remnant N 157B = SNR 0538-691, was up to now unknown, except for three Wolf-Rayet stars and a few red supergiant candidates. A thorough study based on UBV photometry, spectra of 95 stars and nebular spectra will be described elsewhere (see also Schild et al. in these Proceedings).

Disentangling planetary orbits from stellar activity in radial-velocity surveys [PDF]
The majority of extra-solar planets have been discovered (or confirmed after follow-up) through radial-velocity (RV) surveys. Using ground-based spectrographs such as High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planetary Search (HARPS) and HARPS-North, it is now ...

Lithium Depletion Boundary Ages of Young Planet-Hosting Stellar Associations [PDF]
Stellar associations - groups of coeval, co-moving stars - are fundamental to our understanding of stellar ages and critical for the study of stellar and planetary evolution.

Stellar associations in M81 [PDF]
A catalogue of 180 stellar associations in M81 has been compiled using two plates taken with the 2-m Rozhen telescope. The catalogue gives the positions of associations, their mean angular sizes and H II identifications. It is found that the frequency distribution of associations in M81 is similar to that in M33, and their characteristic length is ≃ 80

New Stellar Associations in M31 [PDF]
About twenty years ago van den Bergh (1964) recognized 188 OB associations in the Andromeda Nebula. He used plates taken by the 52-inches Tautenburgh Schmidt telescope in GDR. Later on Richter (1971) added 7 new associations in the south-western periphery of M31. Now we have the opportunity to continue the search of stellar associations in M31 with the

Lithium depletion boundary, stellar associations, and Gaia [PDF]
Stellar ages are key to improving our understanding of different astrophysical phenomena. However, many techniques to estimate stellar ages are highly model-dependent.
