In this paper we describe a new class of pulsating stars, the prototype of which is the bright, early, F-type dwarf, Gamma Doradus. These stars typically have between 1 and 5 periods ranging from 0.4 to 3 days with photometric amplitudes up…

How did star formation begin in the universe? Some of the questions addressed at this first meeting on "The First Stars" are summarized here from a theoretical perspective, and some brief comments are made on what we may have learned so…

The lambda Bootis (LB) stars are located at the upper main sequence of the H-R diagram and exhibit a peculiar abundance pattern. The light elements (C, N, O, and S) present solar abundances whereas all other elements are moderately to…

We define the notion of the orbit group of a quandle via its connectivity and compute the orbit groups for some basic quandles. We also show that the orbit group counts the number of orbits of certain quandles.

We consider principal moments of inertia of axisymmetric, magnetically deformed stars in the context of general relativity. The general expression for the moment of inertia with respect to the symmetric axis is obtained. The numerical…

In this work we present some new results obtained in a study of the phase diagram of charged compact boson stars in a theory involving a complex scalar field with a conical potential coupled to a U(1) gauge field and gravity. We here obtain…

The concept of a flock of a quadratic cone is generalized to arbitrary cones. Flocks whose planes contain a common point are called star flocks. Star flocks can be described in terms of their coordinate functions. If the cone is "big…

Developments of this far-reaching research field are summarized from an observational point of view, mentioning important and interesting phenomena discovered recently by photometry of stellar oscillations of any kind. A special emphasis is…

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…

Here I present a somewhat personal review of the results of my research carried out in the last couple of decades, mostly focused on the fields of stellar astrophysics, the interstellar medium, and the high energy sources. They have been…

Since the discovery of the first bona-fide brown dwarfs and extra-solar planets in 1995, the field of low mass stars and substellar objects has considerably progressed, both from theoretical and observational viewpoints.Recent developments…

In this paper we define the concepts of $g.\Lambda_s$-sets and $g.V_s$-sets and we use them in order to obtain new characterizations of semi-T_1-, semi-R_0- and semi-T_{1/2}-spaces.

We give a new description of Rosenthal's generalized homotopy fixed point spaces as homotopy limits over the orbit category. This is achieved using a simple categorical model for classifying spaces with respect to families of subgroups.

We prove a recently conjectured star-star relation, which plays the role of an integrability condition for a class of 2D Ising-type models with multicomponent continuous spin variables. Namely, we reduce this relation to an identity for…

In a recent paper, Vink et al. analyzed some spectropolarimetry data of O-type stars. Here we comment on our disagreement with some points presented in this paper, with the hope of helping to fully grasp the scientific implication of these…

First results of near-IR adaptive optics (AO)-assisted imaging, interferometry, and spectroscopy of this Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) are presented. They suggest that the Pistol Star is at least double. If the association is physical, it…

Observations have shown that a model with a positive cosmological constant is more appropriate to describe our universe. The aim of this manuscript is to study the gravitational fields in de Sitter space-time. To achieve this goal, de…

The possibility of the phenomenon of Bose condensation having a part to play in the discussion of neutron stars has been around for some time. Here the sorts of temperatures and densities that might be involved are discussed. Also, an…

Current observations of double neutron stars provide us with a wealth of information that we can use to investigate their evolutionary history and the physical conditions of neutron star formation. Understanding this history and formation…

This note records that the Langlands parameter spaces, associated by Adams- Barbasch-Vogan to a real group, may be described as homotopy fixed points (fixed point stacks) of the spaces associated to the corresponding complex group.
