The rich oscillation spectra determined for the two stars, Nu Eridani and 12 Lacertae, present an interesting challenge to stellar modelling. The stars are hybrid objects showing a number of modes at frequencies typical for Beta Cep stars but also one mode at frequency typical for SPB stars. We construct seismic models of these stars considering uncertainties in opacity and element distribution. We also present estimate of the interior rotation rate and address the matter of mode excitation. We use both the OP and OPAL opacity data and find significant difference in the results. Uncertainty in these data remains a major obstacle in precise modelling of the objects and, in particular, in estimating the overshooting distance. We find evidence for significant rotation rate increase between envelope and core in the two stars. Instability of low-frequency g-modes was found in seismic models of Nu Eri built with the OP data, but at frequencies higher than those measured in the star. No such instability was found in models of 12 Lac. We do not have yet a satisfactory explanation for low frequency modes. Some enhancement of opacity in the driving zone is required but we argue that it cannot be achieved by the iron accumulation, as it has been proposed.

After a historical introduction, I present the current status of our understanding of the mechanism responsible for pulsation in Beta Cephei and SPB stars.
We present examples of an extended asteroseismic modelling in which we aim at fitting not only pulsational frequencies but also certain complex parameter related to each frequency. This kind of studies, called textbf{complex asteroseismology}, has be
en successfully applied to a few main sequence B-type pulsators and provided, in particular, plausible constraints on textbf{stellar opacities}. Here, we briefly describe our results for three early B-type stars.
Context: OB stars are important in the chemistry and evolution of the Universe, but the sample of targets well understood from an asteroseismological point of view is still too limited to provide feedback on the current evolutionary models. Our study
extends this sample with two spectroscopic binary systems. AIMS. Our goal is to provide orbital solutions, fundamental parameters and abundances from disentangled high-resolution high signal-to-noise spectra, as well as to analyse and interpret the variations in the Kepler light curve of these carefully selected targets. This way we continue our efforts to map the instability strips of beta Cep and SPB stars using the combination of high-resolution ground-based spectroscopy and uninterrupted space-based photometry. Methods: We fit Keplerian orbits to radial velocities measured from selected absorption lines of high-resolution spectroscopy using synthetic composite spectra to obtain orbital solutions. We use revised masks to obtain optimal light curves from the original pixel-data from the Kepler satellite, which provided better long term stability compared to the pipeline processed light curves. We use various time-series analysis tools to explore and describe the nature of variations present in the light curve. Results: We find two eccentric double-lined spectroscopic binary systems containing a total of three main sequence B-type stars (and one F-type component) of which at least one in each system exhibits light variations. The light curve analysis (combined with spectroscopy) of the system of two B stars points towards the presence of tidally excited g modes in the primary component. We interpret the variations seen in the second system as classical g mode pulsations driven by the kappa mechanism in the B type primary, and explain the unexpected power in the p mode region as a result of nonlinear resonant mode excitation.
We present the discovery of nonradial pulsations in five hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars based on 27 days of nearly continuous time-series photometry using the Kepler spacecraft. We find that every sdB star cooler than $approx 27,500,$K that Kepler has ob
served (seven so far) is a long-period pulsator of the V1093~Her (PG~1716) class or a hybrid star with both short and long periods. The apparently non-binary long-period and hybrid pulsators are described here. The V1093~Her periods range from one to 4.5~h and are associated with $g-$mode pulsations. Three stars also exhibit short periods indicative of $p-$modes with periods of 2 to 5~m and in addition, these stars exhibit periodicities between both classes from 15 to 45~m. We detect the coolest and longest-period V1093~Her-type pulsator to date, KIC010670103 ($T_effapprox 20,900,$K, $P_maxapprox 4.5$~h) as well as a suspected hybrid pulsator, KIC002697388 which is extremely cool ($T_{rm eff}approx 23,900,$K) and for the first time hybrid pulsators which have larger $g-$mode amplitudes than $p-$mode ones. All of these pulsators are quite rich with many frequencies and we are able to apply asymptotic relationships to associate periodicities with modes for KIC010670103. Kepler data are particularly well-suited for these studies as they are long-duration, extremely high duty cycle observations with well-behaved noise properties.
We present a search for the decays B+ -> mu+ nu_mu and B+ -> e+ nu_e in a 253 fb-1 data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy B factory. We find no significant evidence for a signal and se
t 90% confidence level upper limits of B(B+ -> mu+ nu_mu) < 1.7 x 10^{-6} and B(B+ -> e+ nu_e) < 9.8 x 10^{-7}.
