Until the last few decades, investigations of stellar interiors had been restricted to theoretical
studies only constrained by observations of their global properties and external …

The lithium present in the photospheres of solar-type stars is transported to the inner parts
by convection, reaching regions even somewhat below the convection zone, by non …

This work aims to examine in detail the depletion of lithium in solar twins to better constrain
stellar evolution models and investigate its possible connection with exoplanets. We employ …

Stellar rotation is a complex function of mass, metallicity, and age and can be altered by
binarity. To understand the importance of these parameters in main-sequence stars, we …

Context. Transport processes occurring in the radiative interior of solar-type stars are
evidenced by the surface variation of light elements, in particular 7 Li, and the evolution of …

Context. Binary systems constitute a valuable astrophysics tool for testing our understanding
of stellar structure and evolution. Systems containing at least one oscillating component are …

Over 2,000 stars were observed for 1 month with a high enough cadence in order to look for
acoustic modes during the survey phase of the Kepler mission. Solar-like oscillations have …

The binary system 16 Cygni is key in studies of the planet-star chemical composition
connection, as only one of the stars is known to host a planet. This allows us to better assess …

Context. Although not predicted by standard stellar evolution, the surface abundance of light
elements, such as lithium (Li), carbon, and nitrogen, changes during the red giant branch …

Two magnetic braking models are implemented in MESA for use in the MIST stellar model
grids. Stars less than about 1.3 solar masses are observed to spin down over time through …
