Aims: We aim to perform the first long-term analysis of the system HS Hya. Methods: We performed an analysis of the long-term evolution of the light curves of the detached eclipsing system HS Hya. Collecting all available photometric data since its discovery, the light curves were analyzed with a special focus on the evolution of systems inclination. Results: We find that the system undergoes a rapid change of inclination. Since its discovery until today the systems inclination changed by more than 15 deg. The shape of the light curve changes, and now the eclipses are almost undetectable. The third distant component of the system is causing the precession of the close orbit, and the nodal period is about 631 yr. Conclusions: New precise observations are desperately needed, preferably this year, because the amplitude of variations is decreasing rapidly every year. We know only 10 such systems on the whole sky at present.

We discuss the current status of the sample of Lithium abundances in extremely metal poor (EMP) turn-off (TO) stars collected by our group, and compare it with the available literature results. In the last years, evidences have accumulated of a progr
essive disruption of the Spite plateau in stars of extremely low metallicity. What appears to be a flat, thin plateau above [Fe/H]sim-2.8 turns, at lower metallicities, into a broader distribution for which the plateau level constitutes the upper limit, but more and more stars show lower Li abundances. The sample we have collected currently counts abundances or upper limits for 44 EMP TO stars between [Fe/H]=-2.5 and -3.5, plus the ultra-metal poor star SDSS J102915+172927 at [Fe/H]=-4.9. The meltdown of the Spite plateau is quite evident and, at the current status of the sample, does not appear to be restricted to the cool end of the effective temperature distribution. SDSS J102915+172927 displays an extreme Li depletion that contrasts with its otherwise quite ordinary set of [X/Fe] ratios.
We present Li and Fe abundances for 87 stars in the GC M4,obtained with GIRAFFE high-resolution spectra. The targets range from the TO up to the RGB Bump. The Li abundance in the TO stars is uniform, with an average value A(Li)=2.30+-0.02 dex,consist
ent with the upper envelope of Li content measured in other GCs and in the Halo stars,confirming also for M4 the discrepancy with the primordial Li abundance predicted by WMAP+BBNS. The iron content of M4 is [Fe/H]=-1.10+-0.01 dex, with no systematic offsets between dwarf and giant stars.The behaviour of the Li and Fe abundance along the entire evolutionary path is incompatible with models with atomic diffusion, pointing out that an additional turbulent mixing below the convective region needs to be taken into account,able to inhibit the atomic diffusion.The measured A(Li) and its homogeneity in the TO stars allow to put strong constraints on the shape of the Li profile inside the M4 TO stars. The global behaviour of A(Li) with T_{eff} can be reproduced with different pristine Li abundances, depending on the kind of adopted turbulent mixing.One cannot reproduce the global trend starting from the WMAP+BBNS A(Li) and adopting the turbulent mixing described by Richard et al.(2005) with the same efficiency used by Korn et al.(2006) to explain the Li content in NGC6397. Such a solution is not able to well reproduce simultaneously the Li abundance observed in TO and RGB stars.Otherwise, theWMAP+BBNS A(Li) can be reproduced assuming a more efficient turbulent mixing able to reach deeper stellar regions where the Li is burned. The cosmological Li discrepancy cannot be easily solved with the present,poor understanding of the turbulence in the stellar interiors and a future effort to well understand the true nature of this non-canonical process is needed.
Extended main-sequence turn-offs (eMSTO) are a commonly observed property of young clusters. A global theoretical interpretation for the eMSTOs is still lacking, but stellar rotation is considered a necessary ingredient to explain the eMSTO. We aim t
o assess the importance of core-boundary and envelope mixing in stellar interiors for the interpretation of eMSTOs in terms of one coeval population. We construct isochrone-clouds based on interior mixing profiles of stars with a convective core calibrated from asteroseismology of isolated galactic field stars. We fit these isochrone-clouds to the measured eMSTO to estimate the age and core mass of the stars in the two young clusters NGC 1850 and NGC 884, assuming one coeval population and fixing the metallicity to the one measured from spectroscopy. We assess the correlations between the interior mixing properties of the cluster members and their rotational and pulsation properties. We find that stellar models based on asteroseismically-calibrated interior mixing profiles lead to enhanced core masses of eMSTO stars and can explain a good fraction of the observed eMSTOs of the two considered clusters in terms of one coeval population of stars, with similar ages to those in the literature, given the large uncertainties. The rotational and pulsation properties of the stars in NGC 884 are not sufficiently well known to perform asteroseismic modelling, as it is achieved for field stars from space photometry. The stars in NGC 884 for which we have vsini and a few pulsation frequencies show no correlation between these properties and the core masses of the stars that set the cluster age. Future cluster space asteroseismology may allow to interpret the values of the core masses in terms of the physical processes that cause them, based on the modelling of the interior mixing profiles for the individual member stars with suitable identified modes.
We use the Wide Field Camera 3 onboard the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain deep, high-resolution photometry of the young (~ 100 Myr) star cluster NGC1850 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We analyze the cluster colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) and find t
hat it hosts an extended main sequence turn-off (MSTO) and a double MS. We demonstrate that these features cannot be due to photometric errors, field star contamination, or differential reddening. From a comparison with theoretical models and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that a coeval stellar population featuring a distribution of stellar rotation rates can reproduce the MS split quite well. However, it cannot reproduce the observed MSTO region, which is significantly wider than the simulated ones. Exploiting narrow-band Halpha imaging, we find that the MSTO hosts a population of Halpha-emitting stars which are interpreted as rapidly rotating Be-type stars. We explore the possibility that the discrepancy between the observed MSTO morphology and that of the simulated simple stellar population (SSP) is caused by the fraction of these objects that are highly reddened, but we rule out this hypothesis. We demonstrate that the global CMD morphology is well-reproduced by a combination of SSPs that cover an age range of ~ 35 Myr as well as a wide variety of rotation rates. We derive the cluster mass and escape velocity and use dynamical evolution models to predict their evolution starting at an age of 10 Myr. We discuss these results and their implications in the context of the extended MSTO phenomenon.
We find that Coulomb focusing persists even when the Coulomb field is barely noticeable compared with the laser field. Delayed recollisions proliferate in this regime and bring back energy slightly above the 3.17 U_p high-harmonic cutoff, in stark co
ntradiction with the Strong Field Approximation. We investigate the nonlinear-dynamical phase space structures which underlie this dynamics. It is found that the energetic delayed recollisions are organized by a reduced number of periodic orbits and their invariant manifolds.
