Descripción
Synthetic horizontal branch (HB) stars in globular clusters, when computed on the basis of HB evolutionary tracks and pulsation theory constraints, furnish the best theoretical scenarios for exploration of the age-metallicity relation in globular clusters. Preliminary results are presented from recently computed synthetic models of the horizontal branch. The primary properties predicted for HB stars and RR Lyrae variables are presented and compared with selected observations of variables in the field and in globular clusters.

    Design and manufacture of athermalized optomechanical mounts for GRANCAIN, the infrared imaging instrument for GTC's adaptive optics
    GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first-light imaging instrument in the infrared J, H and K bands that will be integrated into the adaptive optics focus of the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The purpose of the instrument is to capture SWIR diffraction-limited images for a field of view of 22x22 arcsec. The instrument boasts a telecentric optical

    Measuring Rotation Periods and Stellar Oscillations in Red Giants with TESS Data
    TESS is a powerful engine for studying stellar variability. However, it has been challenging to adopt methods used for other space missions, such as Kepler, to infer rotation periods and solar-like oscillation frequencies in TESS data. The availability of multiple sectors of data for most targets, improved stability, and the release of new
