We present the main results of a study of the observed internal structure constants, k2, for a wide set of eclipsing binaries. From the analysis of the variations in relative positions of the eclipses and the comparison with different theoretical models, we could deduce that the discrepancy, previously reported by several authors between theory and observations, is no longer supported. Moreover, a strong correlation has been found between the evolution of the parameter k2 and the gravity at the surface of the star, g.

SummaryFrom the analysis of the observational data of about 100 Ap stars, the radii have been computed under the assumption that Ap are main sequence stars. Radii range from 1.4 to 4.9 solar units. These values are all compatible with the Deutsch's period versus line-width relation.

AbstractIt is by now well known that most main sequence stars continuously lose mass as a consequence of the winds they emit. In addition to affecting the thermal and dynamical state of the stellar atmosphere, such mass loss can also induce changes in the interiors of stars. In the present review, we consider a few of the ways in which sustained, wind-like mass loss can alter the physical state of main sequence stellar interiors by examining the differences in internal structure, composition, and rotation between mass-losing and conservatively evolving stars.

We present accurate physical parameters of the eccentric binary system V990 Her which has an orbital period of P=8.193315±0.000003 days using its photometric and spectroscopic data. The physical parameters of the components were derived as Teff1=8000±200 K, Teff2=7570±200 K, M1=2.01±0.07 Mʘ, M2=1.83±0.03 Mʘ, R1=2.22±0.02 Rʘ, R2=2.12±0.01 Rʘ, log(L1/Lʘ)=1.25±0.04, log(L2/Lʘ)=1.12±0.05. Our findings revealed that both components are slightly evolved from the zero-age main sequence with an age of 6.3×108 years. We estimated an apsidal motion with a period of U=14683±2936 years in the system and the internal structure constants of the components were derived for the first time.

AbstractI discuss the structure and evolution of cataclysmic variables, with a particular emphasis on the influence of the physics used in calculating the internal structure of the secondary. The available observational data is very rich, and can, in principle, be used to constrain the stellar physics. It is found that, in order to explain the lack of systems with periods in the range 2 – 3 hr, it is required that main sequence star become convective for masses below 0.3 M⊙. This has little consequences on the equation of state, but constrains the opacities and the treatment of subphotospheric layers.

ABSTRACT The ratio of small-to-large separations r010 has been widely used in helioseismology and asteroseismology to investigate the internal structure of a star, as it is approximately independent of the structure of the outer layers. Several studies have used this tool to constrain the convective-core overshooting of main-sequence stars (i.e. 0.0 ≤ δov ≤ 0.2). This is consistent with the generally accepted values. However, Yang et al. have proposed that there is large convective-core overshooting in the Kepler targets KIC 2837475 and 11081729: 1.2 ≤ δov ≤ 1.6 and 1.7 ≤ δov ≤ 1.8, respectively. These are much larger than the normal values. Thus, the aim of this study is to re-investigate the ratios of the two stars using a model-independent method with the latest p-mode observations. Our results indicate that there is no robustness for including such a large convective-core overshooting while modelling these two stars. In fact, this leads to over-fitting, and the observational constraints of r010 prefer models with a normal convective-core overshooting (i.e. 0.0 ≤ δov ≤ 0.2) as the candidates for the best-fitting model of KIC 2837475 and 11081729.

AbstractThe coronal structure of main sequence stars continues to puzzle us. While the solar corona is relatively well understood, it has become clear that even stars of the same mass as the Sun can display very non-solar coronal behaviour, particularly if they are rapid rotators or in a binary system. At masses greater than and also less than that of the Sun, the non-solar internal structure appears to affect both the geometry and dynamics of the stellar corona and the nature of the X-ray and radio emission. In this talk I will describe some recent advances in our understanding of the structure of the coronae of some of the most active (and interesting) main sequence stars.
