Description
We present long-slit intermediate resolution spectroscopy of the visual binary V1123. We confirm that component A is a W UMa eclipsing star with spectral type G0V, while component B is a K0V. We infer a distance to the system of 125 pc, and then a projected separation between both components of 520 AU. The difference in radial velocities of components A and B is ⩽20 km s-1. At the distance od the system, the flux measured by ROSAT for the component A, corresponds to an X-ray luminosity of Lx=30.23ergs which is within typical values for W UMa systems.

The general goal of this project is to determine and characterize the spatial and spectral variations in the temperature and polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background in angular scales from several arcminutes to several degrees.
