Descripción
We have obtained medium resolution spectra of the neutron star X-ray transient Aql X-1 during quiescence. We determine the spectral type of the companion star to be K1 and also estimate its rotation speed to be 62^+30^_-20_km/s. By measuring the width of the Hα emission line profile of the accretion disc, we estimate the binary inclination to ~50° and also estimate the semi-amplitude of the companion star's radial velocity curve to be ~170km/s.

    The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation
    WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, saw first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-deg field-of-view prime-focus corrector system, a nearly 1000-multiplex fibre positioner, 20 individually deployable 'mini' integral field units (IFUs), and a single large IFU

    The double low-mass white dwarf eclipsing binary system J2102-4145 and its possible evolution
    In recent years, about 150 low-mass white dwarfs (WDs), typically with masses below 0.4 M ⊙, have been discovered. The majority of these low-mass WDs are observed in binary systems as they cannot be formed through single-star evolution within Hubble time. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of the double low-mass WD eclipsing binary

    Morphology and Kinematics of the Gas in M51: How Interaction with NGC 5195 Has Molded the Structure of Its Arms
    The Whirlpool Galaxy is a well-studied grand design galaxy with two major spiral arms, and a large satellite NGC 5195. The arms both show long uniform sections with perturbations ("kinks" or sharp turns) in specific regions. Comparing the two arms shows a small radial offset between the main kinked regions. We analyzed the morphology and also the
