Description
In this contribution, the main characteristics of the=20 Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP), recently built at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, to be operated at the German Solar Telescopes (GCT and VTT) of the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) are presented. Especial emphasis is put on the modulation scheme, polarisation efficiencies, signal-to-noise ratio, spatial and spectral resolution, and instrumental polarisation cross-talk. Some examples of data recently obtained are presented, which give an idea of the performance and capabilities of this instrument.

    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas
    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas provides a comprehensive theory and practice of basic plasma processes in the Sun and heliosphere. It deals with the basic dynamics of the Sun from its interior up to its outer atmosphere in the framework of Magnetohydrodynamics. Topics covered include essential phenomena in the solar interior such as

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies
