Description
Z-bump opacities are known to excite radial pulsations in helium stars with 102~<= L/M~<=104 and Teff ~ 25 000 K. Well-studied cases are V652 Her and BX Cir. The absence of variations in the metal-poor star HD 144941 demonstrates the importance of Z-bump opacitiesto drive these pulsations. Several other helium-rich stars lie close to the theoretical blue-edge of the Z-bump instability strip. One of these, LS IV+6o2, is a known radial velocity variable. We report on recent (1999 June) observations of two helium stars close to the Z-bump instability boundary. Both appear to be variable.

    Tales of stellar &amp; 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
