Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space asteroseismology delivered the interior rotation rates of more than a thousand low- and intermediate-mass stars, revealing that: 1) single stars rotate nearly uniformly during the core hydrogen and core helium burning phases; 2) stellar cores spin up to a factor 10 faster than the envelope during the red giant phase; 3) the angular momentum of the helium-burning core of stars is in agreement with the angular momentum of white dwarfs. Observations reveal a strong decrease of core angular momentum when stars have a convective core. Current theory of angular momentum transport fails to explain this. We propose improving the theory with a data-driven approach, whereby angular momentum prescriptions derived from multi-dimensional (magneto)hydrodynamical simulations and theoretical considerations are continously tested against modern observations. The TESS and PLATO space missions have the potential to derive the interior rotation of large samples of stars, including high-mass and metal-poor stars in binaries and clusters. This will provide the powerful observational constraints needed to improve theory and simulations.

The symphony of pulsations and binarity among massive stars using HERMES spectroscopy and TESS photometry
An ensemble analysis of 873 O/B stars shows photometric variability in >93%, pulsations in ~82%, and evidence of binarity in at least 14%, including 30 newly discovered eclipsing binaries.

The IACOB project XIX. Revisiting massive-star evolution with empirical TAMS constraints: updated models, overshoot calibration, and the population of blue supergiants
Massive-star models require mass-dependent core overshoot (α_ov ≈ 0.18–0.45) to match the empirical TAMS, but still fail to explain the velocity dependence of the TAMS and the observed blue supergiant population.

Transport of angular momentum and chemical elements by the MRI dynamo in stellar radiative zones
Stratified MRI dynamo simulations give scaling laws for angular-momentum and chemical transport in stellar radiative zones, with Maxwell stress dominating and chemical mixing more strongly suppressed by stratification.

Beyond the Tayler instability: A new global instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stars
A new global instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stars is reported that grows on the Alfvén time, is less dissipation-sensitive than the Tayler instability, and may affect angular momentum transport.
