Description
We present accurate B, V, R photometry of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data have been collected with the Wide Field Imager available at 2.2 m ESO/MPI telescope and cover an area of about 100×40 arcmin2 around the Sculptor center. The final catalogue includes 100,000 stars. We found that blue and red Horizontal Branch stars present different radial distributions. This finding supports previous results. Moreover, we present a preliminary comparison between theoretical predictions for H and He burning phases and observational data.

    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
