Context. Stellar physical properties of star clusters are poorly known. Aims. Our goals are to perform a spectrophotometric study of the B star population in open clusters to derive accurate stellar parameters, search for the presence of…
Hybrid stars of the {\gamma} Doradus and {\delta} Scuti pulsation types have great potential for asteroseismic analysis to explore their interior structure. To achieve this, mode identi- fications of pulsational frequencies observed in the…
Rotation and solar-type magnetic activity are closely related to each other in stars of G or later spectral types. Presence and level of magnetic activity depend on star's rotation and rotation itself is strongly influenced by strength and…
G\,29$-$38 (TIC~422526868) is one of the brightest ($V=13.1$) and closest ($d = 17.51$\,pc) pulsating white dwarfs with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere (DAV/ZZ Ceti class). It was observed by the {\sl TESS} spacecraft in sectors 42 and 56. The…
Measuring the distribution of stellar spin axis orientations in a coeval group of stars probes the physical processes underlying the stars' formation. In this paper, we use spectro-photometric observations of the open cluster NGC 2516 to…
Many stars exhibit stellar pulsations, favoring them for asteroseismic analyses. Interpreting the oscillations requires some knowledge of the oscillation mode geometry (spherical degree, radial and azimuthal orders). The delta Scuti stars…
While delta Scuti stars are the most numerous class of kappa-mechanism pulsators in the instability strip, the short periods and small peak-to-peak amplitudes have left them understudied and underutilized. Recently, large-scale time-domain…
We present the results of observations aimed at discovering and studying pulsars in the core-collapsed globular cluster (GC) NGC 6522 performed by the MeerTIME and TRAPUM Large Survey Project with the MeerKAT telescope. We have discovered…
Despite multiple previous searches, no transiting planets have yet been identified within a globular cluster. This is believed to be due to a combination of factors: the low metallicities of most globular clusters suggests that there is…
We present a photometric study of star clusters in the nearby starburst galaxy M82 based on the UBVI, YJ and H band Hubble Space Telescope images. We find 1105 star clusters with V<23 mag. 1070 of them are located in the disk region, while…
In this work we aim at constraining the age of the young open cluster Melotte 20, known as $\alpha$ Per, using seismic indices. The method consists of the following steps: 1) Extract the frequency content of a sample of stars in the field…
Properties of stars undergoing pulsation such as the well known root-mean-density scaling relation can be useful when trying to match the observed properties of a particular star. It is often assumed that this relation is valid for p mode…
Eclipsing binaries (EBs) are unique targets for measuring precise stellar properties and constrain stellar evolution models. In particular, it is possible to measure at the percent level masses and radii of both components of a double-lined…
NGC 3621 is a late-type (Sd) spiral galaxy with an active nucleus, previously detected through mid-infrared [Ne V] line emission. Archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images reveal that the galaxy contains a bright and compact nuclear star…
Asteroseismology is witnessing a revolution thanks to high-precise asteroseismic space data (MOST, CoRoT, Kepler, BRITE), and their large ground-based follow-up programs. Those instruments have provided an unprecedented large amount of…
Open clusters are ideal targets for searching for transiting Hot Jupiters. They provide a relatively large concentration of stars on the sky and cluster members have similar metallicities, ages and distances. Fainter cluster members are…
We report the discovery of a previously unknown massive Galactic star cluster at l=29.22, b=-0.20. Identified visually in mid-IR images from the Spitzer GLIMPSE survey, the cluster contains at least 8 late-type supergiants, based on…
$\delta$ Scuti stars are pulsating variable stars that exhibit both radial and non-radial pulsations, making them key objects for understanding stellar evolution and internal structures. The current classification of $\delta$ Scuti stars…
Asteroseismology of member pulsators provides a robust physical constraint on cluster parameters by linking internal stellar structures to the global properties of the host cluster. However, the parameters of NGC 1647 remains poorly…
The physical origin of the strong magnetic activity in T Tauri stars and its relation to stellar rotation is not yet well understood. We investigate the relation between the X-ray activity, rotation, and Rossby number for a sample of 82…
