Observations of 25 Ori much expand the picture derived of other early-type Be stars with BRITE and SMEI. Two instead of one difference frequencies rule the variability: (a) The lower one, 0.0129 c/d, is the frequency of events with full amplitudes of 100-200 mmag which may signal mass loss possibly driven by the higher one, 0.1777 c/d. (b) Much of the entire power spectrum is a tightly woven network of combination frequencies: (i) Below 0.25,c/d, numerous frequencies are difference frequencies. (ii) Many frequencies above 2.5 c/d can be represented as sum frequencies and in a few cases as harmonics. (iii) Many frequencies between 1.1 and 1.75,c/d can be portrayed as parents of combination frequencies. The number and fraction of combination frequencies increases steeply with decreasing amplitude and and accuracy of the frequency matching.

Fast rotation seems to be the mayor factor to trigger the Be phenomenon. Surface fast rotation can be favored by initial formation conditions, such as abundance of metals. We have observed 118 Be stars up to the apparent magnitudes V=9 mag. Models of
fast rotating atmospheres and evolutionary tracks were used to interpret the stellar spectra and to determine the stellar fundamental parameters. Since the studied stars are formed in regions that are separated enough to imply some non negligible gradient of galactic metallicity, we study the effects of possible incidence of this gradient on the nature as rotators of the studied stars.
{We study biasing as a physical phenomenon by analysing geometrical and clustering properties of density fields of matter and galaxies.} {Our goal is to determine the bias function using a combination of geometrical and power spectrum analysis of sim
ulated and real data.} {We apply an algorithm based on local densities of particles, $delta$, to form simulated biased models using particles with $delta ge delta_0$. We calculate the bias function of model samples as functions of the particle density limit $delta_0$. We compare the biased models with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) luminosity limited samples of galaxies using the extended percolation method. We find density limits $delta_0$ of biased models, which correspond to luminosity limited SDSS samples.} {Power spectra of biased model samples allow to estimate the bias function $b(>L)$ of galaxies of luminosity $L$. We find the estimated bias parameter of $L_ast$ galaxies, $b_ast =1.85 pm 0.15$. } {The absence of galaxy formation in low-density regions of the Universe is the dominant factor of the biasing phenomenon. Second largest effect is the dependence of the bias function on the luminosity of galaxies. Variations in gravitational and physical processes during the formation and evolution of galaxies have the smallest influence to the bias function. }
The weakly bound exotic ${}^{11}$Be nucleus, famous for its ground-state parity inversion and distinct n+ ${}^{10}$Be halo structure, is investigated from first principles using chiral two- and three-nucleon forces. An explicit treatment of continuum
effects is found to be indispensable. We study the sensitivity of the ${}^{11}$Be spectrum to the details of the three-nucleon force and demonstrate that only certain chiral interactions are capable of reproducing the parity inversion. With such interactions, the extremely large E1 transition between the bound states is reproduced. We compare our photodisintegration calculations to conflicting experimental data and predict a distinct dip around the $3/2^-_1$ resonance energy. Finally, we predict low-lying $3/2^+$ and $9/2^+$ resonances that are not or not sufficiently measured in experiments.
Discovered over 30 years ago, the B[e] phenomenon has not yet revealed all its puzzles. New objects that exhibit it are being discovered in the Milky Way, and properties of known objects are being constrained. We review recent findings about objects
of this class and their subgroups as well as discuss new results from studies of the objects with yet unknown nature. In the Magellanic Clouds, the population of such objects has been restricted to supergiants. We present new candidates with apparently lower luminosities found in the LMC.
Analyses of Galactic late O dwarfs (O8-O9.5V) raised the `weak wind problem: spectroscopic mass loss rates ($dot{M}$) are up to two orders of magnitude lower than the theoretical values. We investigated the stellar and wind properties of Galactic lat
e O giants (O8-O9.5III). We performed a spectroscopic analysis of nine O8-O9.5III stars in the ultraviolet (UV) and optical regions using the model atmosphere code CMFGEN. From the UV region, we found $dot{M}$ $sim$ $10^{-8}-10^{-9}$ $mathrm{M_odot}$ $mathrm{yr^{-1}}$ overall. This is lower by $sim 0.9 - 2.3$ dex than the predicted values based on the (global) conservation of energy in the wind. The mass-loss rates predicted from first principles, based on the moving reversing layer theory, agree better with our findings, but it fails to match the spectroscopic $dot{M}$ for the most luminous OB stars. The region of $log(L_star/L_odot) sim 5.2$ is critical for both sets of predictions in comparison with the spectroscopic mass-loss rates. CMFGEN models with the predicted $dot{M}$ (the former one) fail to reproduce the UV wind lines for all the stars of our sample. We reproduce the observed H$alpha$ profiles of four objects with our $dot{M}$ derived from the UV. Hence, low $dot{M}$ values (weak winds) are favored to fit the observations (UV + optical), but discrepancies between the UV and H$alpha$ diagnostics remain for some objects. Our results indicate weak winds beyond the O8-9.5V class, since the region of $log(L_star/L_odot) sim 5.2$ is indeed critical to the weak wind phenomenon. Since O8-O9.5III stars are more evolved than O8-9.5V, evolutionary effects do not seem to play a role in the onset of the weak wind phenomenon. These findings support that the $dot{M}$ (for low luminosity O stars) in use in the majority of modern stellar evolution codes must be severely overestimated up to the end of the H-burning phase.
