Description
These are the preliminary results of our BVR photometric study. The quasar 1628.5+3808 is shown here only for the sake of illustration of our research. This object showed variations in the three bands. It was observed with a 1.5-meter telecope from the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at San Pedro Mártir, México. Only non-variable field stars were taken into account to carry out the differential photometry. Problems with standard stars did not allow the calibration process.

    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
