Description
Modern kinematic diagnostics from high-S/N spectroscopy provide useful tests on the collisionless merger hypothesis for the formation of elliptical galaxies. Bender, Saglia & Gerhard (1994) show that the skewness of the line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVD) has opposite sign to the rotation velocity and follows a distinct pattern. Previous N-body experiments (Bendo & Barnes 2000, Naab & Burkert 2001) disagree as to whether the relation is reproduced by the models.

    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

    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
