Description
Sub-Arcsec images in the JHK_s, H_2 and Br_γ of three areas (I(N), F and NGC 6334 IV (MM3)) of the giant molecular cloud NGC 6334 are presented. The preliminary results indicate the presence of a deeply embedded young stellar cluster in the northermost part of the cloud (I(N)). We have identified the exciting source of the cometary UCHII NGC 6334 F. This source has an infrared luminosity L_{IRacute;{=} 3 10^3 L_{&sun;} and a very steep infrared spectral index. Finally, a new center of massive star formation associated with the millimeter peak MM3 has been found east of the bipolar HII region NGC 6334 a.

    Tales of stellar & binary co-evolution, told by stellar oscillations
    Stellar binarity and stellar oscillations are mostly seen and studied as two separate phenomena. Sometimes, one process is even complicating the analysis of the other beyond the liking of one or the other research community. However, the complete picture painted by the physical constraints provided by the combination of both processes represents a

    Convection, rotation, and magnetic activity of solar-like stars from asteroseismology
    During the last decade, our understanding of stellar physics and evolution has undergone a tremendous revolution thanks to asteroseismology. Space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, K2, and TESS have already been observing millions of stars providing high-precision photometric data. With these data, it is possible to study the convection of stars
