Description
We have completed a survey of early-type galaxies in a region covering 700 sq. degrees with cz<7000km/s. We find no early-type galaxies with MB > -20 that satisfy our isolation criteria. The sample galaxies obey the Mg-sigma relation but have a higher frequency of [OII] and [OIII] emission than found in the Fornax cluster. They appear to be younger than the ellipticals in the Fornax cluster having a spread in luminosity weighted ages similar to lenticular galaxies. This work was funded by the PPARC rolling grant: ``Extragalactic Astronomy and Cosmology in Durham 2000-2004'' PPA/G/O/1999/00604.

    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
