Aims: We present a new method that investigates the evolutionary history of the pulsating DB white dwarf GD 358 using asteroseismology. This is done considering the internal C/O profile, which describes the relative abundances of carbon and oxygen from the core of the star to its surface. Different evolutionary channels lead to the generation of

Context: Evolution of galaxies through cosmic time has been widely studied at high redshift, but there are a few studies in this field at lower redshifts. However, low-redshifts studies will provide important clues to the evolution of galaxies, furnishing the required link between local and high-redshift universe. Aims: In this work we focus on the

The presence of surface convection in K-type dwarfs is revealed in very high quality spectra of nine bright stars. The observed asymmetries and wavelength shifts of the Fe I absorption line profiles are mainly due to granulation. The bisectors of the strongest Fe I lines have a span of about 100 m/s and the central wavelengths of the weakest Fe I
