Description
We summarize the performances measured at room temperature and in cryogenic conditions of a set of NIR Volume Phase Holographic Gratings (VPHGs) which can then be used in astronomical instrumentations. VPHGs are novel optical components which can replace standard transmission gratings. Instead of a surface modulation a diffraction index modulation printed in a volume of material generates the diffraction according to the required specifications. Results on transmission and wavefront deformation are presented and compared in the two temperature regimes. These results were achieved along the run of the Joint Research Action 6 of OPTICON FP6 programme whose participating institutions are Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (INAF), Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Centre Spatial de Liege, Politecnico di Milano and European Southern Observatory.

    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
