Descripción
An analysis of the IRAS data for a sample of classical (optically selected) Seyfert galaxies is presented. The IRAS fluxes at 25 micron, 60 micron, and 100 micron are found to be uncorrelated or only very weakly correlated with the UV/Optical continuum flux and the near and mid IR flux at 3.5 and 10 microns. To investigate the possibility that star formation accounts for the far IR flux, the IRAS measurements for the Seyfert galaxies are compared to IRAS observations of a sample of normal spiral galaxies, and a sample of Starburst galaxies. It is shown that the far IR luminosities and far IR colors of Seyfert galaxies are indistinguishable from those of the Starburst galaxies. Besides, normal galaxies are an order of magnitude less luminous than both the Seyfert and the Starburst galaxies. This indicates that star formation produces the bulk of the far infrared emission in Seyfert galaxies.

    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

    Signature of the spin-down stalling in the stellar magnetic activity
    Once main-sequence (MS) solar-like stars transitioned from the saturated to the unsaturated regime in magnetic activity, their evolution was perceived as monotonic, with rotation rate and activity gradually decaying. However, Kepler revolutionized this perspective, showing that the unsaturated regime splits into different regimes. One transition

    Spectroscopy and asteroseismic modelling of the red giant binary system KIC 10841730
    Stellar modelling is crucial for understanding the structure and age of stars. The accuracy of a stellar model is limited by the constraints from observations and the theory behind the physical processes. Gravitationally bound stars of a binary system provide an excellent opportunity for a combined study, which provides strong constraints on the
