Description
We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of a new long-period cataclysmic variable (CV) identified from a combined X-ray (ROSAT) /infrared (2MASS) selection method, 1RXS J0629-0335. The preliminary orbital period of ˜9 h has been estimated from its radial velocity variation. We obtained photometry of 1RXS J0629-0335 throughout one month, revealing long-term variability and suggesting that the system has frequent dwarf nova outbursts.

Binary Stars
The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is fundamental to understand stellar and galactic evolution. Particularly relevant is that binary systems are still the best source of precise stellar mass and radius measurements. Research lines

    The destructive power of an impacting asteroid is primarily estimated by knowledge of its size. Asteroid 2024 YR4 reached a peak 2032 impact probability with Earth of 3%, motivating a desire to determine its size. Owing to its infrared capabilities, JWST is uniquely suited for such assessment, especially for decameter-scale objects. We used JWST to

    The Empirical Relations between Accretion Luminosity and the Luminosity of Accretion Tracers: are we using them correctly?
    The formation of low-mass stars is a complex and crucial process for understanding stellar evolution and planet formation. In the current scenario of low-mass star formation, after core collapse, the infalling material from the envelope is stored in the circumstellar disk. From this disk, the material reaches the forming star by following the star
