Description
During the OJ-94 campaign for the blazar OJ 287 the authors have obtained the best ever observed optical light curve for any extragalactic object. They have monitored this blazar since fall 1993 and have collected over 2000 optical photometric observations. The light curve shows continuous activity down to timescales of tens of minutes, with amplitudes ranging from 0.1 to 2 magnitudes. The fastest observed activity was a 1.2 magnitude drop in less than a day and a 0.5 magnitude brightening in five hours.

    Design and manufacture of athermalized optomechanical mounts for GRANCAIN, the infrared imaging instrument for GTC's adaptive optics
    GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first-light imaging instrument in the infrared J, H and K bands that will be integrated into the adaptive optics focus of the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The purpose of the instrument is to capture SWIR diffraction-limited images for a field of view of 22x22 arcsec. The instrument boasts a telecentric optical

    Measuring Rotation Periods and Stellar Oscillations in Red Giants with TESS Data
    TESS is a powerful engine for studying stellar variability. However, it has been challenging to adopt methods used for other space missions, such as Kepler, to infer rotation periods and solar-like oscillation frequencies in TESS data. The availability of multiple sectors of data for most targets, improved stability, and the release of new
