The formation of positive ions of antihydrogen $bar{rm{H}}^+$ via the three body reaction (i) $rm{e}^+ + rm{e}^- + bar{rm{H}} rightarrow rm{e}^- + bar{rm{H}}^+$ is considered. In reaction (i), free positrons $rm{e}^+$ are incident on antihydrogen $bar{rm{H}}$ embedded in a gas of low-energy ($sim $ meV) electrons and, due to the positron-electron interaction, a positron is attached to $bar{rm{H}}$ whereas an electron carries away the energy excess. We compare reaction (i) with two radiative attachment mechanisms. One of them is (ii) spontaneous radiative attachment, in which the ion is formed due to spontaneous emission of a photon by a positron incident on $bar{rm{H}}$. The other is (iii) two-center dileptonic attachment which takes place in the presence of a neighboring atom B and in which an incident positron is attached to $bar{rm{H}}$ via resonant transfer of energy to B with its subsequent relaxation through spontaneous radiative decay. It is shown that reaction (i) can strongly dominate over mechanisms (ii) and (iii) for positron energies below $0.1$ eV. It is also shown that at the energies considered reaction (i) will not be influenced by annihilation and that the reaction $rm{e}^+ + rm{e}^+ + bar{rm{H}} rightarrow rm{e}^+ + bar{rm{H}}^+$ has a vanishingly small rate compared to reaction (i).

We report new measurements of the neutron charge form factor at low momentum transfer using quasielastic electrodisintegration of the deuteron. Longitudinally polarized electrons at an energy of 850 MeV were scattered from an isotopically pure, highly polarized deuterium gas target. The scattered electrons and coincident neutrons were measured by the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST) detector. The neutron form factor ratio $G^{n}_{E}/G^{n}_{M}$ was extracted from the beam-target vector asymmetry $A_{ed}^{V}$ at four-momentum transfers $Q^{2}=0.14$, 0.20, 0.29 and 0.42 (GeV/c)$^{2}$.
A compact, few-parametric, physically adequate, 3-term variational trial function is used to calculate with high accuracy the energy of the ground state ${}^3Pi_u$ of the hydrogen molecule ${rm H}_2$ in strong magnetic field ${bf B}$ in the range $5times10^{10}, {rm G} leq B leq 10^{13},$G. The nuclei (protons) are assumed as infinitely massive (BO appproximation of zero order) and situated along the magnetic field line (parallel configuration).
Scaling relations between asteroseismic quantities and stellar parameters are essential tools for studying stellar structure and evolution. We will address two of them, namely, the relation between the large frequency separation ($Delta u$) and the mean density ($bar{rho}$) as well as the relation between the frequency of the maximum in the power spectrum of solar-like oscillations ($ u_{rm max}$) and the cut-off frequency ($ u_{rm c}$). For the first relation, we will consider the possible sources of uncertainties and explore them with the help of a grid of stellar models. For the second one, we will show that the basic physical picture is understood and that departure from the observed relation arises from the complexity of non-adiabatic processes involving time-dependent treatment of convection. This will be further discussed on the basis of a set of 3D hydrodynamical simulation of surface convection.
The astrophysical $^{3}{rm He}(alpha, gamma)^{7}{rm Be}$ and $^{3}{rm H}(alpha, gamma)^{7}{rm Li}$ direct capture processes are studied in the framework of the two-body model with the potentials of a simple Gaussian form, which describe correctly the phase-shifts in the s-, p-, d-, and f-waves, as well as the binding energy and the asymptotic normalization constant of the ground $p_{3/2}$ and the first excited $p_{1/2}$ bound states. It is shown that the E1-transition from the initial s-wave to the final p-waves is strongly dominant in both capture reactions. On this basis the s-wave potential parameters are adjusted to reproduce the new data of the LUNA collaboration around 100 keV and the newest data at the Gamov peak estimated with the help of the observed neutrino fluxes from the Sun, $S_{34}$(23$^{+6}_{-5}$ keV)=0.548$pm$0.054 keV b for the astrophysical S-factor of the capture process $^{3}{rm He}(alpha, gamma)^{7}{rm Be}$. The resulting model describes well the astrophysical S-factor in low-energy Big Bang nucleosynthesis region of 180-400 keV, however has a tendency to underestimate the data above 0.5 MeV. Two-body potentials, adjusted on the properties of the $^7$Be nucleus, $^3{rm He}+alpha$ elastic scattering data and the astrophysical S-factor of the $^{3}{rm He}(alpha, gamma)^{7}{rm Be}$ direct capture reaction, are able to reproduce the properties of the $^7$Li nucleus, the binding energies of the ground 3/2$^-$ and first excited 1/2$^-$ states, and phase shifts of the $^3 {rm H}+alpha$ elastic scattering in partial waves. Most importantly, these potential models can successfully describe both absolute value and energy dependence of the existing experimental data for the mirror astrophysical $^{3}{rm H}(alpha, gamma)^{7}{rm Li}$ capture reaction without any additional adjustment of the parameters.
Highly accurate variational calculations, based on a few-parameter, physically adequate trial function, are carried out for the hydrogen molecule hh in inclined configuration, where the molecular axis forms an angle $theta$ with respect to the direction of a uniform constant magnetic field ${bf B}$, for $B=0,, 0.1,, 0.175$ and $0.2,$a.u. Three inclinations $theta=0^circ,,45^circ,,90^circ$ are studied in detail with emphasis to the ground state $1_g$. Diamagnetic and paramagnetic susceptibilities are calculated (for $theta=45^circ$ for the first time), they are in agreement with the experimental data and with other calculations. For $B=0,, 0.1$ and $0.2,$a.u. potential energy curves $E$ vs $R$ are built for each inclination, they are interpolated by simple, two-point Pade approximant $Pade[2/6](R)$ with accuracy of not less than 4 significant digits. Spectra of rovibrational states are calculated for the first time. It was found that the optimal configuration of the ground state for $B leq B_{cr}=0.178,$a.u. corresponds always to the parallel configuration, $theta=0$, thus, it is a $^1Sigma_g$ state. The state $1_g$ remains bound for any magnetic field, becoming metastable for $B > B_{cr}$, while for $B_{cr} < B < 12$,a.u. the ground state corresponds to two isolated hydrogen atoms with parallel spins.
