Description
The development of astrophysical observatories in the Canary Islands by the European community is discussed. Consideration is given to principal astronomical expeditions to the Canary Islands; site testing programs in the Islands; and the agreement established between Spain and the other European countries on the use of the facilities. The composition and objectives of the Astrophysical Institute of the Canary Islands, and the characteristics of the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, the Teide Observatory, and the Institute of Astrophysics, operated by the Astrophysical Institute, are described. A list of the astronomers and research conducted by Italians at the Canary Islands facilities is presented.

    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

    We present a 0.35-2.4 µm stellar spectral library composed by 31 stars observed with the Gemini Near-IR Spectrograph (GNIRS) on the 8.1 m Gemini North telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. These stars are present in the MILES library, and thus various parameters derived from the optical are available. Furthermore, out of those, 26 are presented for the

    Calibrating the color-redshift relation for an optimum exploitation of Euclid data
    Euclid's three dimensional reconstruction of the matter distribution in the Universe heavily relies on a proper calibration of the color-redshift relation. Getting such calibration was the motivation of the project Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation (C3R2) survey (Masters et al. 2017), with the goal of mapping the empirical
