We present optical and NIR spectroscopic observations of U Sco 2010
outburst. From the analysis of lines profiles we identify a broad and a
narrow component and show that the latter originates from the reforming
accretion disk. We show that the accretion resumes shortly after the
outburst, on day +8, roughly when the super-soft (SSS) X-ray phase
starts. Consequently U Sco SSS phase is fueled (in part or fully) by
accretion and should not be used to estimate $m_{\mathrm{rem}}$, the
mass of accreted material which has not been ejected during the
outburst. In addition, most of the He emission…
We have started a project to investigate the connection of post-novae
with the population of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our first steps in
this concern improving the sample of known post-novae and their
properties. Here we present the recovery and/or confirmation of the old
novae MT Cen, V812 Cen, V655 CrA, IL Nor, V2109 Oph, V909 Sgr, V2572 Sgr
and V728 Sco. Principal photometric and spectroscopic properties of
these systems are discussed. We find that V909 Sgr is a probable
magnetic CV, and that V728 Sco is a high-inclination system. We
furthermore suggest that the two candidate novae…

Sono state effettuate riprese in V ed R del QSO 160500, oltre alle riprese dei campi Landolt per il calcolo dei coefficienti di estinzione Kv e Kr.
Il telescopio ha mostrato i soliti problemi derivanti dal cambio di temperatura stagionale. In particolare l’accoppiamento vite-corona dell’asse di AR ha necessitato di un intervento di regolazione.
La camera CCD ha lavorato a -35°C, raggiungendo un delta dalla temp. ambiente di -50°C.
