Descripción
We report on an observation performed with the Swift/XRT of the neutron-star X-ray transient Aql X-1 which was recently found to start a new outburst as inferred from an increase in source luminosity in the R and J band data (ATEL #869, #870). The Swift/XRT observation was performed between 31 July 2006 21:47 and 22:05 UT with a duration of 996 seconds. The XRT was in the windowed timing mode.

    Massive characterisation of subgiants and red giants with TESS (Kepler and Gaia)
    TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge. The advent of multiple sectors of data for most stars every two years with the extended

    Influence of the magnetic cycle on the excitation of solar-like acoustic modes
    The Sun's convective envelope generates, by dynamo effect, a surface magnetic field whose strength evolves on an 11-year cycle, with a change in polarity at the end of each cycle. Similar activity cycles exist in other solar-type stars, influencing the stars' dynamics, including the properties of acoustic oscillations, which are excited by

    Twinkle, twinkle, undersampled star
    During the late subgiant/early giant stage, stars undergo fast evolutionary changes such as the readjustment of their internal rotation. It is of paramount importance to study this phase, in particular to understand the transport of angular momentum from the cores of stars to their envelopes. Bridging this knowledge gap is crucial to obtain more
