Description
The importance of forbidden line radiation is considered, taking into account lines in the visible and the infrared range. The result of a theoretical study conducted by Petrosian (1970) is shown in a graph which indicates the intensities of the IR lines predicted for M42. The predicted values were found later to be one order of magnitude too high. A description is given of a spectrometer which was designed for extraterrestrial observations. The spectrometer was used together with a 91-cm telescope which is installed in a NASA Convair 141 aircraft. Several observational flights were conducted in November and December of 1975. The results of the studies are discussed, taking into account the detection of the forbidden line at 18.7 micrometers in M42.

    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

    Low and intermediate-mass stars evolve through the Post Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) phase before they reach the Planetary Nebulae stage. After leaving the Main Sequence, they undergo intense episodes of mass loss when in the Giant Branch and, then, they enter the post-AGB stage which is a rather puzzling stellar evolutionary phase . Also, it
