Description
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is obtaining high resolution ( 22,500), high signal-to-noise (> 100) spectra in the 1510-1690 nm spectral region for 100,000 cool, predominantly post-main sequence stars. To ascertain the stellar atmospheric parameters and measure chemical abundances for the numerous chemical elements with line transitions in this wavelength region, the APOGEE Atmospheric Parameters and Chemical Abundances Pipeline (ASPCAP) relies on an optimization algorithm that identifies the best-fitting model for each of the observed APOGEE spectra. The fitting algorithm speeds up the model evaluation by interpolation in pre-computed grids of synthetic spectra that have been compressed using Principal Component Analysis. Here we describe the main model grids used in ASPCAP for the tenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR10), how they were calculated. We also provide a description of ongoing and planned upgrades.

    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
