Description
When I was assigned the time in La Palma on the JKT, I gave thanks for my extraordinary luck that the observations were scheduled exactly at the perihelion of Comet LINEAR, or C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) as it is correctly known. This would be able to get data on the comet at the start of each night without interrupting the main programme. At the time I hoped that Comet LINEAR might become a reasonable spectacle. Never did I imagine that I would have a front seat for an amazing spectacle -but not the one that I had expected.

    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
