Descripción
Aims: Eleven new symbiotic stars have recently been discovered with IPHAS, the INT Hα survey of the Northern Galactic plane. The star IPHAS J190832.31+051226.6 was proposed as an additional candidate on the basis of the existing spectrum. Here, we investigate the nature of this source by means of additional observations. Methods: Photometric data, optical spectra obtained in 2006 and 2009, a higher resolution spectrum resolving the Hα profile, and near-IR spectra of IPHAS J190832.31+051226.6 are all presented. Results: The source brightened in the r band by 2.3 mag from 2004 to 2009. From 2006 to 2009, the spectrum has evolved from one with the obvious continuum of an M giant star plus HI and HeI lines in emission to a lower excitation nebular spectrum with HI, CaII, and FeII emission and a bluer continuum in which the absorption bands of the red giant are only visible at wavelengths longer than 7500 Å. The Hα line is broad with a deep central absorption and extended wings. Conclusions: The averaged rate of the brightness increase, the rise of a blue continuum overwhelming the absorption bands of the M giant, and the corresponding decline of the ionization condition of the emission-line spectrum, are all consistent with the hypothesis that IPHAS J190832.31+051226.6 is a new symbiotic star picked up during the onset of a symbiotic nova outburst that is still in progress at the time of writing. Based on observations obtained at; the 2.6 m Nordic Optical Telescope operated by NOTSA, and the 2.5 m INT and 4.2 m WHT telescopes of the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.

Nuestro proyecto persigue tres objetivos principales: 1) Determinar las condiciones físico-químicas de las nebulosas planetarias con geometría bipolar y de las nebulosas alrededor de estrellas simbióticas. El fin es entender el origen de la bipolaridad y poner a prueba los modelos teóricos que intentan explicar la morfología y la cinemática nebular

Estrellas Binarias
El estudio de las estrellas binarias es una parte esencial de la astrofísica estelar. Una gran parte de las estrellas de nuestra Galaxia y de otras galaxias se ha formado en sistemas binarios o múltiples, por lo que entender la estructura y evolución de estos sistemas es importante desde el punto de vista estelar y galáctico. Un aspecto en el que
