Context. When leaving the main sequence (MS) for the red-giant branch (RGB), subgiant stars undergo fast structural changes. Consequently, their observed oscillation spectra mirror these changes, constituting key tracers of stellar…
The physics of stellar rotation plays a crucial role in the evolution of stars, their final fate and the properties of compact remnants. Diverse approaches have been adopted to incorporate the effects of rotation in stellar evolution…
\alpha^1 Her is the second closest Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star to the Sun, and the variable luminous M5 Ib-II member of a triple stellar system containing G8 III and A9 IV-V components. However, the mass of this important star was…
We construct complex seismic models of two high-amplitude delta Sct stars, AE UMa and RV Ari, each pulsating in two radial modes: fundamental and first overtone. The models reproduce, besides the frequencies of two radial modes, also the…
