Description
This communication reviews some of the most challenging topics in high-resolution ground-based Solar Physics. The most powerful European facilities are described, together with their capabilities and skills gained in Europe using them. The reasons for a large-aperture solar telescope are outlined, based on present scientific needs, which have led to the joint project EST (European Solar Telescope), in which the most prestigious European Solar Physics research institutions participate. Some technical challenges of a such a large telescope are mentioned.

    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

    Gas Flows in the Central Region of NGC 4593 with Muse
    Understanding how gas flows into galactic centers, fuels the AGN and in turn is expelled back through feedback processes is of great importance to appreciate the role AGN play in the growth and evolution of galaxies. We use MUSE-AO optical spectra of the inner 7''. 5 × 7''. 5 of the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 to understand how gas flows in
