Description
The description of the Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment (IMaX) is presented in this contribution. This is a magnetograph which will fly by the end of 2006 on a stratospheric balloon, together with other instruments (to be described elsewhere). Especial emphasis is put on the scientific requirements to obtain diffraction-limited visible magnetograms, on the optical design and several constraining characteristics, such as the wavelength tuning or the crosstalk between the Stokes parameters.

    Tales of stellar & binary co-evolution, told by stellar oscillations
    Stellar binarity and stellar oscillations are mostly seen and studied as two separate phenomena. Sometimes, one process is even complicating the analysis of the other beyond the liking of one or the other research community. However, the complete picture painted by the physical constraints provided by the combination of both processes represents a

    Convection, rotation, and magnetic activity of solar-like stars from asteroseismology
    During the last decade, our understanding of stellar physics and evolution has undergone a tremendous revolution thanks to asteroseismology. Space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, K2, and TESS have already been observing millions of stars providing high-precision photometric data. With these data, it is possible to study the convection of stars
