Descripción
Photometric results for the galaxy NGC 4736 are presented, including IR and visible profiles. After correction for the extinction within the galaxy based on measured neutral gas surface densities, the profiles in the individual bands and in color indices are interpreted in terms of the radial distribution of stellar populations. The behavior of the two rings, an inner ring some 40-50 arc sec from the nucleus, and an outer ring some 300 arc sec away, are examined. The results suggest that the inner ring is connected with an outflow of gas observed via its H II regions, and is probably the result of an axisymmetric starburst, while the outer ring is a site of star formation which appears to be further from the center than the typical resonant structures associated with a density wave.

    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

    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

    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
