Description
We performed an extensive observing programme on the zodiacal light with ISOPHOT. The mapping of several ~0.5degx0.5deg fields demonstrates the sub-percentage smoothness of the zodiacal light brightness on arcminute scale. The analysis of 27 ISOPHOT-S spectra in the 5-12μm range revealed blackbody-like spectral shapes with no obvious spectral features. The derived temperatures increase with ecliptic latitude and decrease with distance from the Sun in the range of 260-290 K. New interesting results are expected from multifilter photometry of the interplanetary dust cloud, and from observations of the asteroidal bands as well as of a cometary dust trail.

    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

    We present a 0.35-2.4 µm stellar spectral library composed by 31 stars observed with the Gemini Near-IR Spectrograph (GNIRS) on the 8.1 m Gemini North telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. These stars are present in the MILES library, and thus various parameters derived from the optical are available. Furthermore, out of those, 26 are presented for the

    Calibrating the color-redshift relation for an optimum exploitation of Euclid data
    Euclid's three dimensional reconstruction of the matter distribution in the Universe heavily relies on a proper calibration of the color-redshift relation. Getting such calibration was the motivation of the project Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation (C3R2) survey (Masters et al. 2017), with the goal of mapping the empirical
