    The impact of Galactic evolution on binary interactions, as shown in hot subdwarf binaries
    Wide hot subdwarf B (sdB) binaries with main-sequence companions are outcomes of stable mass transfer from evolved red giants. The orbits of these binaries show...

    The integrated galactic IMF - from star clusters to galaxies
    Over the past years observations of young and populous star clusters have shown that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) can be conveniently described by a...

    The Kepler space mission sheds a new light on variable A- and F-type stars
    The Kepler spacecraft is providing photometric time series with micromagnitude precision for thousands of variable stars. The continuous time-series of...

    The last asymptotic giant branch star
    All the elements from carbon to uranium present in the Solar System were produced by hundreds to thousands of stars belonging to different stellar generations...

    The Luminous Blue Variable HR Car Just Got Married!
    Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) are massive stars caught in a post-main sequence phase, during which they are losing a significant amount of mass. Given the...

    The Many Facets of Massive Star Mass Loss
    Massive stars lose mass through powerful, radiatively driven stellar winds. Building on the original "CAK" model for steady, spherical winds driven by line...

    The Mg/Fe characterisation of MILES library for stellar population
    The current databases of empirical star spectra for modelling single-aged stellar populations (SSPs) generally do not chemically characterize their stars...

    The nature of growing bulges within z < 1.3 galaxy disks in the GOODS-N Field
    In this work we have tried to verify what types of bulges are the descendants and the precursors of the bulges with blue colors observed at intermediate z...

    The non-homology - star-formation connection: hints for the solution of the FP problem
    We present the K band FP of the ETGs members of the clusters observed by the WINGS survey. The data confirm a different tilt of the FP with respect to the V...
