Description
The suitability of the Eddington approximation as a theoretical framework for the study of the possibility of a k-like overstability mechanism as the driving force of solar modes of oscillation is assessed. A theoretical description of the interaction between the hydrodynamics of the motion and the radiative energy transport is needed. It is found that the multidimensional Eddington approximation is generally adequate for giving account of the radiative damping effects of Planck function fluctuations, while it is in gross disagreement with the exact results with respect to the radiative transfer effects of opacity fluctuations. Therefore, it is concluded that its use should be avoided when investigating k-like excitation mechanisms for nonradial stellar modes of oscillation.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
