Description
It is pointed out that the phenomenon of solar rotation is known since the introduction of the telescope into astronomy by Galilei in 1610. Regular measurements concerning the positions of sunspots were conducted with the aid of photographic plates at the Royal Greenwich Observatory during the time from 1874 to 1976. The obtained data provide an excellent basis for statistical analysis. Information obtained as a result of such analyses is discussed. Attention is given to the determination of the Wilson depression, details regarding solar differential rotation, plans for an evaluation of data with the aid of a computer, the rotation of the solar plasma, a comparison of sunspots and plasma, the theory of differential rotation, and new information concerning solar rotation partly obtained with the aid of solar telescopes in a Spanish observatory on the island of Tenerife.

    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

    We present a 0.35-2.4 µm stellar spectral library composed by 31 stars observed with the Gemini Near-IR Spectrograph (GNIRS) on the 8.1 m Gemini North telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. These stars are present in the MILES library, and thus various parameters derived from the optical are available. Furthermore, out of those, 26 are presented for the

    Calibrating the color-redshift relation for an optimum exploitation of Euclid data
    Euclid's three dimensional reconstruction of the matter distribution in the Universe heavily relies on a proper calibration of the color-redshift relation. Getting such calibration was the motivation of the project Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation (C3R2) survey (Masters et al. 2017), with the goal of mapping the empirical
