The present paper provides a general overview of the asteroseismic potential of δ Scuti stars in clusters, in particular focusing on convection diagnostics. We give a summarise of the last results obtained by the authors for the Praesepe cluster of which five δ Scuti stars are analysed. In that work, linear analysis is confronted with observations

Main Belt Comets (MBCs) are objects of the main belt with observed sporadic cometary-like activity (Hsieh and Jewitt 2006, Science, 312, 561). The study of asteroids that present sporadic cometary activity is of fundamental importance to address several astronomical problems including the end states of comet nuclei, the abundance of water in main

We report on the X-ray aperiodic timing analysis of two accreting millisecond pulsars: XTE J1807-294 and IGR J00291+5934. On the one hand, we discovered in XTE J1807-294 seven pairs of simultaneous kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) separated in frequency by nearly the spin frequency of the neutron star. This confirms the suspected

Numerous spectroscopic studies have shown that stars with giant planets are particularly metal-rich when compared with field stars in the solar neighbourhood. I will review the most recent results concerning the study of the chemical abundances of planet-host stars and will present distributions for several elements, including those of alpha and
