Description
Preliminary results are presented of spectroscopic analysis of ten young stars in OB associations using high resolution spectra and NLTE calculations. From the known distances the stellar masses are derived. The comparison with evolutionary tracks indicates a possible discrepancy between the masses and enhanced helium abundances derived from the tracks and from the analysis.

    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
