Description
We report preliminary results of a long-term radial-velocity search for companions of nearby M-dwarf stars with the two CORAVEL spectrographs in both hemispheres. Although not complete yet this survey is already drastically improving the amount of data available for M-dwarf spectroscopic binaries by providing a first set of orbital elements for 31 binaries among which 23 were previously unknown. In this contribution, we will focus on the (e, log{P}) diagram, less sensitive to incompleteness effects, combining the CORAVEL results with data taken from the literature.

    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
