Descripción
We present accurate B, V, R photometry of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data have been collected with the Wide Field Imager available at 2.2 m ESO/MPI telescope and cover an area of about 100×40 arcmin2 around the Sculptor center. The final catalogue includes 100,000 stars. We found that blue and red Horizontal Branch stars present different radial distributions. This finding supports previous results. Moreover, we present a preliminary comparison between theoretical predictions for H and He burning phases and observational data.

    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

    Asteroseismic grid-modelling of the binary system KIC 9163796
    The age of a star cannot be measured but only inferred from observational quantities related to age. For stars in the red-giant phase, classical methods such as isochrone fitting can deliver ages with statistical uncertainties between 30% and 50%. Asteroseismic modelling is known to provide the most precise ages for red giants to date. Furthermore

    Measuring stellar long surface rotation periods by combining multi-sector/cycle long-cadence data from TESS
    The evolution of surface magnetic features on stars, such as spots and faculae, produces modulations in light curves. These modulations allow us to measure the surface rotation period, P_rot, of stars from the main sequence (e.g., McQuillan et al. 2014; Santos et al. 2019, 2021) to the red-giant (Ceillier et al. 2017) phase. Nevertheless, the
