Descripción
Observations show a relation between the brightest young star cluster and the present overall star formation rate of a galaxy. A possible explanation would be the formation of complete cluster populations in rather short formation epochs lasting ≈ 10 Myr. This implies that the star formation history of a galaxy is a sequence of formation epochs, in which the total mass of the cluster population is given by the star formation rate. This argument can be inverted to determine the star formation history of a galaxy from observations of the most massive clusters in this galaxy.

    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
