Description
The VIRGO Experiment (Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations) contains two types of active cavity radiometers for monitoring of the solar constant, two three-channel Sun photometers 335, 500, and 865 nm, and a low resolution imager (LOI) with 12 pixels. The main scientific objective is probing the solar interior by helioseismology with p- and g-mode solar oscillations determined from spectral irradiance (SPM) and radiance (LOI) variations on time scales of minutes to the mission time. The measurements of the variability of the solar constant and spectral irradiance over periods of days to the mission time will yield information about the convection zone, as will the comparison of the amplitudes and phases of the oscillations as manifested in irradiance and radiance (from VIRGO) and velocity (from GOLF and SOI).

    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

    Exploring convolutional neural networks for classification and segmentation of evolving granular structures in the solar surface
    Solar granulation is the visible signature of convective cells emerging from the upper convective zone towards the solar surface. High-resolution images have revealed the complexity of the granulation, evidencing special phenomena such as exploding granules or granular lanes, which are known to be directly related to the emergence of small-scale
