Description
We have started an observing program to study the whole sample of interaction systems from the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) (around 20 sky fields) using a CCD camera and the B, R, and H α filters. The objectives of this project are: (1) to link the histories of the star formation and nuclear activity in these systems with the morphologic type of the interacting galaxies; (2) to settle upper limits to the age of the induced starbursts using the H α images, which relates with the dynamical time of the interaction; (3) to infer the masses of the stars which are crucial for understanding the physical properties of the perturbed interstellar medium.

    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

    The breakdown of current gyrochronology as evidenced by old coeval stars
    Gyrochronology can yield useful ages for field main-sequence stars, a regime where other techniques are problematic. Typically, gyrochronology relations are calibrated using young (2 Gyr) clusters, but the constraints at older ages are scarce, making them potentially inaccurate and imprecise. In order to test the performance of existing relations

    Unveiling structures in the evolution of magnetic activity of solar-like stars
    The magnetic and rotational properties of solar-like stars are strongly coupled due to the interaction of rotation and convection in their outer envelopes, which fuels their magnetic dynamos and, as a consequence, their magnetic activity cycles. Thanks to the large number of Kepler targets with measured rotation periods and photometric magnetic
