Description
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of three new relatively bright (V˜14.0-15.5) long-period cataclysmic variables discovered in the Hamburg Quasar Survey: HS 0139+0559, HS 0229+8016 and HS 0506+7725. The orbital periods, 243.2±0.4 min, 233±1 min and 212.6±0.1 min, are determined from radial velocity studies. The light curve of HS 0506+7725 is characterised by flickering. HS 0229+8016 and HS 0139+0559 display practically no photometric variability. Whereas HS 0506+7725 is a weak X-ray emitter in the ROSAT All Sky Survey, HS 0229+8016 and HS 0139+0559 were not detected. The identification of these three systems underlines that the currently known sample of CVs is likely incomplete even for bright systems.

    The TESS TTV Follow-up Program: Revealing Volatile-Rich Terrestrial Planets Around M Stars
    Models predict that water-rich planets may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Recent JWST observations of sub-Neptune sized planets orbiting nearby M dwarfs found atmospheres enriched in CH4, CO2 and H2O, but the enrichment mechanism is debated. To answer this question

    The instrumentation plan of the 10.4m GTC telescope
    The 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) was designed to be a versatile telescope, able to serve a wide scientific community. To this aim, various focal stations have been equipped, including a Cassegrain, two Nasmyth foci, and four folded-Cassegrain stations. This allows an ambitious instrumentation plan to be developed. We present the latest

    Design and fabrication of fold mirror (M3) system for New Robotic Telescope
    The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an autonomous telescope that can operate multiple instruments at the Cassegrain focal station and the straight-through port. The optical beam is directed to the ports by a fold mirror subsystem in the focal station assembly. The fold mirror is elliptical in shape, manufactured by Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica
