Description
We present simultaneous time-resolved photometry and spectroscopy of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable 1RXS J020929.0+283243 (ATel #652). Our data indicate that it is a new AM Herculis (i.e. polar) system. Unfiltered photometry (25-sec time resolution) was performed on 2005 November 8 UT at the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma. The light curve covers 2.4 orbital cycles and displays two eclipses.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet
