Description
A brief description of the new 1.5-meter solar telescope GREGOR located at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife will be given. GREGOR will provide a spatial resolution of about 75 km on the Sun, and with its light collecting capability we will be able to study the development of small magnetic features with high cadence. From the beginning, it will be equipped with the GREGOR Fabry-Pérot Interferometer (GFPI) for the visible spectral range and with a GRating Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS). Both postfocus instruments can be combined with a polarimeter, and in both cases the light is modulated by two ferro-electric liquid crystals. A calibration unit can be inserted to determine the instrumental polarization. Because of the altazimuthal mount, time-dependent rotation of the polarimetric reference plane is introduced, and we have to develop a polarization model of the telescope. Measurements to verify this model are in preparation.

    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
