Asteroseismology of stars that exhibit solar-like oscillations are enjoying a growing interest with the wealth of observational results obtained with the CoRoT and Kepler missions. In this framework, scaling laws between asteroseismic quantities and stellar parameters are becoming essential tools to study a rich variety of stars. However, the physical underlying mechanisms of those scaling laws are still poorly known. Our objective is to provide a theoretical basis for the scaling between the frequency of the maximum in the power spectrum ($ u_{rm max}$) of solar-like oscillations and the cut-off frequency ($ u_{rm c}$). Using the SoHO GOLF observations together with theoretical considerations, we first confirm that the maximum of the height in oscillation power spectrum is determined by the so-called emph{plateau} of the damping rates. The physical origin of the plateau can be traced to the destabilizing effect of the Lagrangian perturbation of entropy in the upper-most layers which becomes important when the modal period and the local thermal relaxation time-scale are comparable. Based on this analysis, we then find a linear relation between $ u_{rm max}$ and $ u_{rm c}$, with a coefficient that depends on the ratio of the Mach number of the exciting turbulence to the third power to the mixing-length parameter.

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.
We have reviewed the current status of the inclusive neutrino scattering from $^{12}$C in the low energy region corresponding to the neutrino beams from the pion, muon and kaon decaying at rest. The theoretical calculations of total cross sections in various nuclear models with special emphasis on the recent experiments with the monoenergetic neutrinos from KDAR [1] along with the older experiments from KARMEN and LSND collaborations have been discussed in the context of the recent works by Akbar et al. [2] and Nikolakopoulos et al. [3]. The inadequacy of the various theoretical models used to explain the experimental results on the inclusive neutrino scattering from nuclei at low energies has been highlighted and the need for a better understanding of the nuclear medium effects beyond the impulse approximation has been emphasized.

The lithium abundances in a few percent of giants exceed the value predicted by the standard stellar evolution models, and the mechanisms of Li enhancement are still under debate. The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) survey has obtained over six million spectra in the past five years, and thus provides a great opportunity to search these rare objects and to more clearly understand the mechanisms of Li enhancement. Based on the high-resolution spectrum we obtained the stellar parameters ($T_mathrm{eff}$, $log g$, [Fe/H]), and determined the elemental abundances of Li, C, N, $alpha$, Fe-peak, r-process, s-process elements, and the projected rotational velocity. For a better understanding of the effect of mixing processes, we also derived the $^{12}rm{C}$ to $^{13}rm{C}$ ratio, and constrained the evolutionary status of TYC,3251-581-1 based on the BaSTI stellar isochrones. The super Li-rich giant TYC,3251-581-1 has $rm{A(Li)} = 3.51$, the average abundance of two lithium lines at $lambda = 6708$ AA and 6104 AA based on the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) analysis. The atmospheric parameters show that our target locates on the luminosity function bump. The low carbon isotopic ratio ($^{12}rm{C}/^{13}rm{C} = 9.0 $), a slow rotational velocity $vsin i = 2.2 rm{km,s}^{-1}$, and no sign of IR excess suggest that additional mixing after first dredge up (FDU) should occur to bring internal synthesized Li to the surface. The low carbon ($[rm{C}/rm{Fe}] sim -0.34$ ) and enhanced nitrogen ($[rm{N}/rm{Fe}] sim 0.33$) are also consistent with the sign of mixing. Given the evolutionary stage of TYC,3251-581-1 with the relatively low $^{12}rm{C}/^{13}rm{C}$, the internal production which replenishes Li in the outer layer is the most likely origin of Li enhancement for this star.
We report on 13 new high-precision measurements of stellar diameters for low-mass dwarfs obtained by means of near-infrared long-baseline interferometry with PIONIER at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. Together with accurate parallaxes from G aia DR2, these measurements provide precise estimates for their linear radii, effective temperatures, masses, and luminosities. This allows us to refine the effective temperature scale, in particular towards the coolest M-dwarfs. We measure for late-type stars with enhanced metallicity slightly inflated radii, whereas for stars with decreased metallicity we measure smaller radii. We further show that Gaia DR2 effective temperatures for M-dwarfs are underestimated by $sim$ 8.2 % and give an empirical $M_{G}$-$T_{rm eff}$ relation which is better suited for M-dwarfs with $T_{rm eff}$ between 2600 and 4000 K. Most importantly, we are able to observationally identify a discontinuity in the $T_{rm eff}$-radius plane, which is likely due to the transition from partially convective M-dwarfs to the fully convective regime. We found this transition to happen between 3200 K and 3340 K, or equivalently for stars with masses $approx 0.23 M_{odot}$. We find that in this transition region the stellar radii are in the range from 0.18 to 0.42$R_{odot}$ for similar stellar effective temperatures.
By analyzing 482 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy $sqrt s=4.009$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the %absolute branching fractions for the semi-leptonic decays $D_{s}^{+}to phi e^{+} u_{e}$, $phi mu ^{+} u_{mu}$, $eta mu^{+} u_{mu}$ and $etamu^{+} u_{mu}$ to be ${mathcal B}(D_{s}^{+}tophi e^{+} u_{e})=(2.26pm0.45pm0.09)$%, ${mathcal B}(D_{s}^{+}tophi mu^{+} u_{mu})=(1.94pm0.53pm0.09)$%, ${mathcal B}(D_{s}^{+}toeta mu^{+} u_{mu})=(2.42pm0.46pm0.11)$% and ${mathcal B}(D_{s}^{+}toetamu^{+} u_{mu}) = (1.06pm0.54pm0.07)$%, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The branching fractions for the three semi-muonic decays $D_s^+tophi mu^+ u_mu, eta mu^+ u_mu$ and $eta mu^+ u_mu$ are determined for the first time and that of $D^+_sto phi e^+ u_e$ is consistent with the world average value within uncertainties.
