Descripción
The Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at San Pedro Mártir is located at 31°02'40''N and 115°28'00''W on the summit of the Sierra San Pedro Mártir on the Baja California peninsula, Mexico, at 2800 m above sea level. The results of more than three decades of site characterization work are summarized. These cover the following aspects: weather, cloud coverage, atmospheric optical extinction, night sky brightness, millimetric and infrared opacity and seeing. Overall, San Pedro Mártir is one the most favorable accessible sites in the Northern Hemisphere for astronomical observations. The number of cloudless nights, minimal turbulence and favorable local wind conditions, to mention but a few of its characteristics, make it well-suited for large telescopes. Long-term monitoring of the site is being undertaken by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and other international institutions.

    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

    Magnetic activity and its variability in the Sun and solar-like stars
    The light curves of solar-like stars provide information on stellar rotation and magnetic activity thanks to active-region crossings. In this work, we investigate the temporal variation of the photometric magnetic activity of the Sun and Kepler solar-like stars. We find that the most active stars are those exhibiting the most significant variations

    Exploring convolutional neural networks for classification and segmentation of evolving granular structures in the solar surface
    Solar granulation is the visible signature of convective cells emerging from the upper convective zone towards the solar surface. High-resolution images have revealed the complexity of the granulation, evidencing special phenomena such as exploding granules or granular lanes, which are known to be directly related to the emergence of small-scale
