Descripción
We report on the results of a coordinated observation of Mrk 421 during outburst using data from XMM-Newton and ground-based TeV data from two Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, the Whipple 10m telescope, based in Arizona, and the MAGIC telescope, based on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The coordinated effort between the two TeV groups allowed for truly simultaneous data in TeV energies during the majority of the XMM observation, which stretched over several hours. This simultaneous coverage with both XMM's EPIC PN detector and Optical Monitor as well as the ground-based TeV telescopes allowed the correlation of X-ray, optical, and TeV variability to be studied over the course of the observation. Studies of spectral hysteresis, multi-wavelength spectral results, and hardness-intensity correlations from the observations will also be presented.

    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
