Description
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) claims that the properties of AGN depend on the viewing angle of the observer with respect to a toroidal distribution of dust surrounding the nucleus. Both the mid-infrared (MIR) attenuation and continuum luminosity are therefore expected to be related to dust associated with the torus. We have compiled all the T-ReCS spectra (Gemini observatory) available in the N-band for 22 AGN: 5 Type-1 and 17 Type-2 AGN. We have used a novel pipeline called RedCan capable of producing flux- and wavelength-calibrated spectra for the CanariCam and T-ReCS instruments. We have also compiled Spitzer/IRS spectra for them. We have studied the star-formation and obscuration properties of our sample of AGN as seen in the MIR.

    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
