Description
Lens galaxies are objects of great interest in extragalactic astronomy and cosmology and were one of the first targets in the history of IFS. We will present new data obtained with INTEGRAL of some gravitational lens systems. Thanks to the very good spectral performance of INTEGRAL-WYFFOS --covering all the optical range at once-- we can discuss the extinction in the very distant lens galaxies from the visible to the UV and compare with the extinction curves in our local environment (the Milky way and the Magellanic Clouds). This study also provide an independent method for determining the redshift in a lens galaxy (dust redshift). We will also present some maps of extended line emission useful to study the host galaxy of the lensed QSO.

    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

    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
