Gravitational instability is thought to be one of the main drivers of angular momentum transport in young protoplanetary discs. The disc around Elias 2-27 offers a unique example of gravitational instability at work. It is young and…

Motivated by recent interest in the phenomenon of waves transport in massive stars, we examine whether the heat-driven gravity (g) modes excited in slowly-pulsating B (SPB) stars can significantly modify the stars' internal rotation. We…
