Descripción
Elmer is a visible imager and spectrograph for the GTC. Elmer Optics has been exhaustively tested at different steps, from the blanks to the final assemblies in order to guarantee the fulfillment with the required performance. In this contribution, we describe the tests done to the different optical components until now. Blank testing, WFE Image quality and Transmission tests have been carried out in most of the components, as well as some tests of the complete optical system integrated on the instrument structure.

    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
