Classification of Metal-Deficient Dwarfs in the Vilnius Photometric System
Methods used for the quantitative classification of metal-deficient stars in the Vilnius photometric system are reviewed. We present a new calibration of absolute magnitudes for dwarfs and subdwarfs, based on Hipparcos parallaxes.

Microscopic diffusion and subdwarfs
The recent distance determinations by HIPPARCOS have allowed to locate very precisely a reasonable set of subdwarfs in the HR diagram. A detailed comparison with evolutionary models is now possible and it has been recently claimed that the observed lower part of the main-sequence is cooler than the computed one.

Pulsating hot O subdwarfs in ω Centauri: mapping a unique instability strip on the extreme horizontal branch [PDF]
We present the results of an extensive survey for rapid pulsators among Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars in ω Cen. The observations performed consist of nearly 100 h of time-series photometry for several off-centre fields of the cluster, as well as ...

Hot subluminous stars: Highlights from the MUCHFUSS and Kepler missions
Research into hot subdwarf stars is progressing rapidly. We present recent important discoveries. First we review the knowledge about magnetic fields in hot subdwarfs and highlight the first detection of a highly-magnetic, helium-rich sdO star.

The properties and evolutionary status of the hot B and O subdwarfs are reinvestigated using recent homogeneous grids of hot, high-gravity model atmospheres and detailed convective envelope calculations appropriate to the hot subdwarf region of the H-R diagram discussed by Greenstein and Sargent.

A Universal Transition in Atmospheric Diffusion for Hot Subdwarfs Near 18,000 K [PDF]
In the color–magnitude diagrams of globular clusters, when the locus of stars on the horizontal branch extends to hot temperatures, discontinuities are observed at colors corresponding to ∼12,000 and ∼18,000 K.

Hot subdwarf formation: Confronting theory with observation
The formation of hot subdwarf stars is still unclear. Both single-star and binary scenarios have been proposed to explain the properties of these evolved stars situated at the extreme blue end of the horizontal branch. The observational evidence gathered
