We present a WWW-version of the {\it Scenario Machine} - a computer code designed to calculate the evolution of close binary stellar systems. The Internet users can directly access to the code and calculate binary evolutionary tracks with…
After a recall of fundamental concepts used in galactic dynamics, we review observational facts as well as results of orbit theory and numerical simulations which suggest long-term evolution of galaxies. Dynamical interactions between…
The recent asteroseismic data from the CoRoT and Kepler missions have provided an entirely new basis for investigating stellar properties. This has led to a rapid development in techniques for analysing such data, although it is probably…

Stellar halos around galaxies retain fundamental evidence of the processes which lead to their build up. Sophisticated models of galaxy formation in a cosmological context yield quantitative predictions about various observable…
To account for the range of stellar metallicities in local galaxies and for the increasing importance of low metallicities at higher redshift we present chemically consistent models for the spectral and chemical evolution of galaxies over…
We describe the search for delta Scuti stars in the MACHO database of bulge fields. Concentrating on a sample of high amplitude delta Scutis, we examine the light curves and pulsation modes. We also discuss their spatial distribution and…
The determination of chemical abundances in star-forming galaxies and the study of their evolution on cosmological timescales are powerful tools for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. This contribution presents the latest results…
We compare an evolutionary chemical model with simple empirical models of the abundance and with static chemical models. We focus on the prediction of molecular line profiles that are commonly observed in low mass star forming cores. We…
Advances in extragalactic astronomy have prompted the development of increasingly realistic models which aim to describe the formation and evolution of galaxies. We review the philosophy behind one such technique, called semi-analytic…
Connecting star and planet properties in a single model is not straightforward. Stellar population synthesis models are key to explore combined statistical constraints from stars and planets observations. The Besan\c{c}on stellar population…
Stellar clusters are thought to be the simplest stellar systems and the closest observational counterparts to theoretical models for single stellar populations. Progress in our understanding of the atmospheres and evolution of massive stars…
Among the various methods used to age-date stars, methods based on stellar model predictions are widely used, for nearly all kind of stars in large ranges of masses, chemical compositions and evolutionary stages. The precision and accuracy…
