The γ Dor stars as revealed by Kepler: A key to reveal deep-layer rotation in A and F stars
The γ Dor pulsating stars present high-order gravity modes, which make them important targets in the intermediate-and low-mass main-sequence region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Whilst we have only access to rotation in the envelope of the Sun, the

On compressive radial tidal forces
Radial tidal forces can be compressive instead of disruptive, a possibility that is frequently overlooked in high level physics courses. For example, radial tidal compression can emerge in extended stellar systems containing a smaller stellar cluster ...

Is there a mass discrepancy in the Cepheid binary OGLE-LMC-CEP0227? [PDF]
Context. The Cepheid mass discrepancy, the difference between masses predicted from stellar evolution and stellar pulsation calculations, is a challenge for the understanding of stellar astrophysics. Recent models of the eclipsing binary Cepheid OGLE-LMC-

Uncertainties in AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis
We summarise the evolution and nucleosynthesis in AGB and Super-AGB stars. We then examine the major sources of uncertainty, especially mass-loss.Comment: 8 pages, no figures.

Code dependencies of pre-supernova evolution and nucleosynthesis in massive stars: Evolution to the end of core helium burning [PDF]
Massive stars are key sources of radiative, kinetic and chemical feedback in the Universe. Grids of massive star models computed by different groups each using their own codes, input physics choices and numerical approximations, however, lead to ...
