Description
Beta Cephei stars have a simple structure: a convective core surrounded by a radiative envelope. It is therefore worth trying to describe beta Cephei stars with composite polytropes which are useful to retrieve structure parameters from frequency spectra. We show that the structure of beta Cephei models can relatively well be described with two-zone polytropic models. However this description is not convincing to depict oscillations of beta Cephei models.

    Insights from super-metal-rich stars: Is the Milky Way bar young?
    Context: Bar formation and merger events can contribute to the rearrangement of stars within the Galaxy in addition to triggering star formation (SF) epochs. Super-metal-rich (SMR) stars found in the solar neighbourhood (SNd) can be used as tracers of such events as they are expected to originate only in the inner Galaxy and to have definitely

    At the edge of source confusion in optical astronomy with new ultra-deep imaging surveys
    The deepest ground-based optical surveys (in terms of surface brightness mu~31 mag/arcsec^2) show that we are close to the dreaded source confusion limit. The typical distance between sources in these images is a few arcseconds, on the order of the natural seeing in these images. When this source confusion limit is reached, low surface brightness
