δ Sct-γ Dor hybrids pulsate simultaneously in p- and g-modes, which carry information on the structure of the envelope as well as to the core. Hence, they are key objects for investigating A and F type stars with asteroseismic techniques. An important requirement for seismic modeling is small errors in temperature, gravity, and chemical composition

The lithium (Li) abundance measured in the solar atmosphere is 140 times smaller than expected considering the proto-solar value. Furthermore, measurements of Li abundance made for many stars similar to the Sun reveal a large dispersion. These observations have defied the models of light element depletion for decades. We present a strong evidence

Context. The mechanisms giving rise to diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters and, in particular, their connection with cluster mergers are still being debated. Aims: We explore the internal dynamics of Abell 2254, which has been shown to host a very clumpy and irregular radio halo. Methods: Our analysis is mainly based on redshift data for 128

We have conducted a survey aimed at identifying a sample of z˜7-10 candidates accessible to detailed spectroscopic studies. The deep survey on A2667 covers a large field of view with HAWK-I and FORS2 at ESO/VLT between 0.8 and 2.5μm (typical depth m(AB)=27.5 at 3σ). 13 sources were identified based on the Lyman Break technique, namely 1 J-drop, 8 Y

We investigate signatures of siphon flows in a region around a solar magnetic pore, observed in the photosphere at μ = 0.6, during its decay phase. We analyze high-resolution Stokes spectra acquired by Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope along the Fe I pair at 630.2 nm. We determine the vector magnetic field and the line-of-sight velocity by an
