Descripción
We report a study of the quiet sun's magnetic field based on high-resolution infrared spectropolarimetric observations (TIP/VTT). We find that in almost 50% of the pixels Stokes V and in 15% the Stokes Q and/or U profiles have a signal above 10-3. The statistical properties of the mainly intranetwork field sampled by these observations are presented, showing that most of the observed fields are weak (the field strength distribution peaks at 350 G and has a FWHM of 300 G) with very few kG features. The magnetized regions occupy a very small fill fractions (about 2%). The field changes properties on granular spatial scales and the size of the patches formed by similar profiles is close to 1". Most of the parameters of the observed polarization profiles show correlations with granulation parameters.

    Design and manufacture of athermalized optomechanical mounts for GRANCAIN, the infrared imaging instrument for GTC's adaptive optics
    GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first-light imaging instrument in the infrared J, H and K bands that will be integrated into the adaptive optics focus of the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The purpose of the instrument is to capture SWIR diffraction-limited images for a field of view of 22x22 arcsec. The instrument boasts a telecentric optical

    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
