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

    Identifying new white dwarfs (WDs) heavy elements is crucial, as they serve as valuable tools for deducing the chemical characteristics of potential planetary systems accreting material onto their surfaces. To detect metallic WDs, we propose a methodology based on an unsupervised learning technique known as Self-Organizing Maps (SOM). This approach

    Astronomy and culture": A new commission of the Spanish Astronomical Society
    The observation and interpretation of the universe in general have played a major role in cultures from different times and epochs. Studying this role is the main goal of a discipline called "cultural astronomy" or "astronomy in culture". With a tradition of more than three decades, it is an interdiscipline halfway between astronomy and social

    Fan region as seen by QUIJOTE MFI experiment
    Microwave and radio observations exhibit some interesting features in the Galactic plane. One of those is the Fan region which is an extended region located in the Perseus arm at a distance of 500 pc. Fan region has highly polarized emission from several MHz up to 353 GHz, which is ascribed to synchrotron but nowadays is largely unexplained. Here
