Description
We present Gemini-South observations of the nuclear starburst region of M83, using the CIRPASS near-IR integral-field spectrograph. Spectroscopic diagnostics are used to overcome many of the uncertainties inherent to photometric studies of the star-formation history of the central region of M83. We use Paβ and [Fe II] emission, and absorption in the CO(6,3) band head, to infer an age gradient, as opposed to stochastic star formation, across the nuclear star-forming region of M83.

    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
