Description
We report time-resolved photometry of the optical counterpart to the black hole candidate SWIFT J1753.5-0127 (Palmer et al. 2005, ATel #546: Halpern et al. 2005, ATel #549). After its discovery, this source has remained in the low/hard state and bright at optical/IR wavelengths. Our analysis indicates that this X-ray transient is a short orbital period X-ray binary. We obtained time-series photometry on 2007 Jun 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 UT with the 1.5-m telescope and from 2007 Jun 27 to Jul 1 UT with the 0.84-m telescope, both at the Mexican Observatorio de San Pedro Martir.

    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

    Measuring stellar long surface rotation periods by combining multi-sector/cycle long-cadence data from TESS
    The evolution of surface magnetic features on stars, such as spots and faculae, produces modulations in light curves. These modulations allow us to measure the surface rotation period, P_rot, of stars from the main sequence (e.g., McQuillan et al. 2014; Santos et al. 2019, 2021) to the red-giant (Ceillier et al. 2017) phase. Nevertheless, the

    PLATO stellar rotation and activity measurements
    The PLATO stellar analysis pipeline will provide photometric rotation and activity measurements for as many observed stars as possible. This poster is aimed at presenting the scientific abilities of the rotation and activity analysis module that will be implemented in the PLATO pipeline. The strategy combines Fourier analysis, autocorrelation of
