We present preliminary results of our spectroscopic campaign of a group of intermediate mass interacting binaries dubbed Double Periodic Variables (DPVs), characterized by orbital light curves and additional long photometric cycles recurring roughly after 33 orbital periods (Mennickent et al. 2003, 2005). They have been interpreted as interacting, semi-detached binaries showing cycles of mass loss into the interstellar medium (Mennickent et al. 2008, Mennickent & Kolaczkowski 2009). High resolution Balmer and helium line profiles of DPVs can be interpreted in terms of mass flows in these systems. A system solution is given for LP Ara, based on modeling of the ASAS V-band orbital light curve and the radial velocity of the donor star.
Using the high-resolution near-infrared adaptive optics imaging from the NaCo instrument at the Very Large Telescope, we report the discovery of a new binary companion to the M-dwarf LP 1033-31 and also confirm the binarity of LP 877-72. We have char
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 1987A-like supernova (SN) 2009mw. Our $BVRI$ and $griz$ photometry covers 167 days of evolution, including the rise to the light curve maximum, and ends just after the beginning of
New CCD photometric observations and their investigation of the W UMa-type binary, V870 Ara, are presented. Light curves of the system were taken through BVI filters from the Congarinni Observatory in Australia. The new ephemeris is calculated based
We present low-resolution phase-resolved spectra of the polar MT Dra during its high states in 2006 and 2009. Balmer series, He I and He II 4686 AA emission lines have complex shapes and show similar profile variations over an orbital cycle. The radi
The thiophenoxy radical (C6H5S) is a species of possible astrophysical interest due to an electronic transition in a 5000 A region. The B <-- X electronic transition of this radical in the discharge of thiophenol was measured using a cavity ring-down
