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.

    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

    Kepler meets Gaia: Binary systems, color-magnitude diagram, and kinematic analysis
    The Kepler mission has delivered unprecedented high-quality photometry. These data have impacted numerous research fields including Galactic studies, asteroseismology, and exoplanets, and continue to be an astrophysical gold mine to this day. Because of this, thorough investigations of the ∼200,000 stars observed by Kepler remain of paramount
