Observations suggest that a relationship exists between the driving mechanism of roAp star pulsations and the heavy element distribution in these stars. We attempt to study the effects of local and global metallicity variations on the excitation mechanism of high order p-modes in A star models. We developed stellar evolutionary models to describe magnetic A stars with different global metallicity or local metal accumulation profiles. These models were computed with CLES (Code Li`egeois devolution stellaire), and the stability of our models was assessed with the non-adiabatic oscillation code MAD. Our models reproduce the blue edge of the roAp star instability strip, but generate a red edge hotter than the observed one, regardless of metallicity. Surprisingly, we find that an increase in opacity inside the driving region can produce a lower amount of driving, which we refer to as the inverse $kappa$-mechanism.
We present new nonlinear, time-dependent convective hydrodynamical models of RR Lyrae stars computed assuming a constant helium-to-metal enrichment ratio and a broad range in metal abundances (Z=0.0001--0.02). The stellar masses and luminosities adop
Recent spectropolarimetric observations of Herbig AeBe stellar systems show linear polarization variability with wavelength and epoch near their obscured H-alpha emission. Surprisingly, this polarization is not coincident with the H-alpha emission pe
We present new [SII] images of the HH 30 jet and counterjet observed in 2006, 2007, and 2010 that allowed us to measure with improved accuracy the positions and proper motions of the jet and counterjet knots. Our results show that the motion of the k
Rapidly oscillating Ap stars consitute a unique class of pulsators to study nonradial oscillations under some - even for stars - unusual physical conditions. These stars are chemically peculiar, they have strong magnetic fields, and they often pulsat
We present hydrodynamic simulations of a major merger of disk galaxies, and study the ISM dynamics and star formation properties. High spatial and mass resolutions of 12pc and 4x10^4 M_sol allow to resolve cold and turbulent gas clouds embedded in a
