    Searching for SNIa Companions in Galactic SNe: the case of SN 1006
    Type-Ia supernovae (SNIa) are believed to be thermonuclear explosions of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs that reach the Chandrasekhar mass limit of about 1...

    Stars at the Eddington limit
    It is often assumed that when stars reach their Eddington limit, strong outflows are initiated, and that this happens only for extreme stellar masses. I will...

    Stellar seismology of gamma Dor pulsators in times of the CoRoT and Kepler satellite missions.
    Gamma Dor stars (M = 1.2-2.5 M⊙; spectral type A-F) are very interesting from an asteroseismic point of view. They show gravity modes, which are the only modes...
