Pushing the limit of instrument capabilities
Chemically Peculiar (CP) stars have been subject of systematic research since
more than 50 years. With the discovery of pulsation of some of the cool CP
stars, the availability of advanced spectropolarimetric instrumentation and
high signal- to-noise, high resolution spectroscopy, a new era of CP star
research emerged about 20 years ago. Together with the success in ground-based
observations, new space projects are developed that will greatly benefit for
future investigations of these unique objects. In this contribution we will
give an overview of some interesting results obtained recently from
ground-based observations and discuss on future outstanding Gaia space mission
and its impact on CP star research.Comment: Joint Discussion 04, Secsion 1, To appear in Highlights of Astronomy,

CoRoT measures solar-like oscillations and granulation in stars hotter than the Sun
Oscillations of the Sun have been used to understand its interior structure.
The extension of similar studies to more distant stars has raised many
difficulties despite the strong efforts of the international community over the
past decades. The CoRoT (Convection Rotation and Planetary Transits) satellite,
launched in December 2006, has now measured oscillations and the stellar
granulation signature in three main sequence stars that are noticeably hotter
than the sun. The oscillation amplitudes are about 1.5 times as large as those
in the Sun; the stellar granulation is up to three times as high. The stellar
amplitudes are about 25% below the theoretic values, providing a measurement of
the nonadiabaticity of the process ruling the oscillations in the outer layers
of the stars.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Mercury
Mercury is a collection of short stories based in the fictional town of Mercury, Georgia. Set over the course of several decades, the stories trace the events that changed individuals, families, and a whole community for decades. Loosely based on the author’s real-life family history, the stories, both humorous and heartbreaking, show characters caught between the past and the present and searching for a way forward. A girl who makes friends with a ghost, a woman who can’t help but run from crying babies, a man forced to face the town’s darkest side—these and other characters respond in surprising ways to circumstances that are both ordinary and extraordinary. Most of the stories in the collection are linked, showing the interconnectedness of the lives in this small town. The pieces work together to present a larger narrative of how the characters and the town struggle to change, survive, hope, and face the future
