Description
Preliminary results of a broad (JHK) and narrow band imaging study of the dark cloud/photodissociation region Car I are presented. The images include [SII], [SIII], [OII], Hα Hβ and Brγ as well H2 lines, spanning from the blue to the mid-infrared. Filamentary molecular hydrogen emission is seen arising from large areas of the cloud, clearly displaced from the atomic gas emission as predicted by photodissociation theories. A few H2 and [SII] emission knots were found, probably caused by internal shocks. One set of knots is likely a jet driven by an embedded young stellar object. Several stars with near-infrared excess and with Brγ line emission are located within and in the outskirts of the cloud.

    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

    Signature of the spin-down stalling in the stellar magnetic activity
    Once main-sequence (MS) solar-like stars transitioned from the saturated to the unsaturated regime in magnetic activity, their evolution was perceived as monotonic, with rotation rate and activity gradually decaying. However, Kepler revolutionized this perspective, showing that the unsaturated regime splits into different regimes. One transition

    Spectroscopy and asteroseismic modelling of the red giant binary system KIC 10841730
    Stellar modelling is crucial for understanding the structure and age of stars. The accuracy of a stellar model is limited by the constraints from observations and the theory behind the physical processes. Gravitationally bound stars of a binary system provide an excellent opportunity for a combined study, which provides strong constraints on the
