Description
We present high-resolution spectroscopy of HD 306414, optical counterpart to the hard X-ray transient IGR J11215-5952, an object belonging to the class of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. We derive a spectral type B0.5 Ia for HD 306414 and determine its stellar parameters from an atmosphere model fit to the spectrum. Our data, taken around the time of the February 2007 X-ray outburst, show large variations in the shape of the Hα emission feature and the radial velocities of metallic lines about the time of the X-ray emission.

    Measuring Rotation Periods and Stellar Oscillations in Red Giants with TESS Data
    TESS is a powerful engine for studying stellar variability. However, it has been challenging to adopt methods used for other space missions, such as Kepler, to infer rotation periods and solar-like oscillation frequencies in TESS data. The availability of multiple sectors of data for most targets, improved stability, and the release of new
