HD,139614 is known to be a $sim$14-Myr-old, possibly pre-main-sequence star in the Sco-Cen OB association in the Upper Centaurus-Lupus subgroup, with a slightly warped circumstellar disc containing ring structures hinting at one or more planets. The stars chemical abundance pattern is metal-deficient except for volatile elements, which places it in the $lambda$ Boo class and suggests it has recently accreted gas-rich but dust-poor material. We identify seven dipole and four radial pulsation modes among its $delta$ Sct pulsations using the TESS light curve and an echelle diagram. Precision modelling with the MESA stellar evolution and GYRE stellar oscillation programs confirms it is on the pre-main sequence. Asteroseismic, grid-based modelling suggests an age of $10.75pm0.77$ Myr, a mass of $1.52pm0.02$ M$_{odot}$, and a global metal abundance of $Z=0.0100pm0.0010$. This represents the first asteroseismic determination of the bulk metallicity of a $lambda$ Boo star. The precise age and metallicity offer a benchmark for age estimates in Upper Centaurus--Lupus, and for understanding disc retention and planet formation around intermediate-mass stars.

The primary science goal of the Kepler Mission is to provide a census of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood, including the identification and characterization of habitable Earth-like planets. The asteroseismic capabilities of the mission are being
used to determine precise radii and ages for the target stars from their solar-like oscillations. Chaplin et al. (2010) published observations of three bright G-type stars, which were monitored during the first 33.5 days of science operations. One of these stars, the subgiant KIC 11026764, exhibits a characteristic pattern of oscillation frequencies suggesting that it has evolved significantly. We have derived asteroseismic estimates of the properties of KIC 11026764 from Kepler photometry combined with ground-based spectroscopic data. We present the results of detailed modeling for this star, employing a variety of independent codes and analyses that attempt to match the asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints simultaneously. We determine both the radius and the age of KIC 11026764 with a precision near 1%, and an accuracy near 2% for the radius and 15% for the age. Continued observations of this star promise to reveal additional oscillation frequencies that will further improve the determination of its fundamental properties.
We present observations of disc-bearing stars in Upper Scorpius (US) and Upper Centaurus-Lupus (UCL) with moderate resolution spectroscopy in order to determine the influence of multiplicity on disc persistence after ~5-20 Myr. Discs were identified
using infra-red (IR) excess from the Wide-field Infra-red Survey Explorer (WISE) survey. Our survey consists of 55 US members and 28 UCL members, using spatial and kinematic information to assign a probability of membership. Spectra are gathered from the ANU 2.3m telescope using the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) to detect radial velocity variations that indicate the presence of a companion. We identify 2 double-lined spectroscopic binaries, both of which have strong IR excess. We find the binary fraction of disc-bearing stars in US and UCL for periods up to 20 years to be $0.06^{0.07}_{0.02}$ and $0.13^{0.06}_{0.03}$ respectively. Based on the multiplicity of field stars, we obtain an expected binary fraction of $0.12^{0.02}_{0.01}$. The determined binary fractions for disc-bearing stars does not vary significantly from the field, suggesting that the overall lifetime of discs may not differ between single and binary star systems.
Using K2, we recently discovered a new type of periodic photometric variability while analysing the light curves of members of Upper Sco (Stauffer etal 2017). The 23 exemplars of this new variability type are all mid-M dwarfs, with short rotation per
iods. Their phased light curves have one or more broad flux dips or multiple arcuate structures which are not explicable by photospheric spots or eclipses by solid bodies. Now, using TESS data, we have searched for this type of variability in the other major sections of Sco-Cen, Upper Centaurus-Lupus (UCL) and Lower Centaurus-Crux (LCC). We identify 28 stars with the same light curve morphologies. We find no obvious difference between the Upper Sco and the UCL/LCC representatives of this class in terms of their light curve morphologies, periods or variability amplitudes. The physical mechanism behind this variability is unknown, but as a possible clue we show that the rapidly rotating mid-M dwarfs in UCL/LCC have slightly different colors from the slowly rotating M dwarfs - they either have a blue excess (hot spots?) or a red excess (warm dust?). One of the newly identified stars (TIC242407571) has a very striking light curve morphology. At about every 0.05 in phase are features that resemble icicles, The icicles arise because there is a second periodic system whose main feature is a broad flux dip. Using a toy model, we show that the observed light curve morphology results only if the ratio of the two periods and the flux dip width are carefully arranged.
We present Mon-735, a detached double-lined eclipsing binary (EB) member of the $sim$3 Myr old NGC 2264 star forming region, detected by Spitzer. We simultaneously model the Spitzer light curves, follow-up Keck/HIRES radial velocities, and the system
s spectral energy distribution to determine self-consistent masses, radii and effective temperatures for both stars. We find that Mon-735 comprises two pre-main sequence M dwarfs with component masses of $M = 0.2918 pm 0.0099$ and $0.2661 pm 0.0095$ $rm{M}_{odot}$, radii of $R = 0.762 pm 0.022$ and $0.748 pm 0.023$ $rm{R}_{odot}$, and effective temperatures of $T_{rm eff} = 3260 pm 73$ and $3213 pm 73$ $rm{K}$. The two stars travel on circular orbits around their common centre of mass in $P = 1.9751388 pm 0.0000050$ days. We compare our results for Mon-735, along with another EB in NGC 2264 (CoRoT 223992193), to the predictions of five stellar evolution models. These suggest that the lower mass EB system Mon-735 is older than CoRoT 223992193 in the mass-radius diagram (MRD) and, to a lesser extent, in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD). The MRD ages of Mon-735 and CoRoT 223992193 are $sim$7-9 and 4-6 Myr, respectively, with the two components in each EB system possessing consistent ages.
