Description
In December 2023 the Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) observed the distant (z=0.997) Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) OP 313 following an alert of increased activity by the Fermi-LAT Space Telescope. Thanks to its very low energy threshold and large effective area LST-1 detected very-high-energy (VHE, E<100 GeV) emission from OP 313. OP 313 is the tenth FSRQ ever detected in the VHE regime and the furthest blazar ever detected so far at these energies. This result represents the first scientific discovery of the LST-1, showing the exceptional capabilities of CTAO, whose LST northern array is currently under construction in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain).

    JAM 1: Discovery of a New Candidate Evolved Planetary Nebula in Deep [O III] and Hα Imaging
    We report the discovery of a previously uncatalogued extended emission nebula, hereafter JAM 1, detected in ultra-deep [O III] and Hα narrowband imaging. Located at 18 h56 m25 s, + 30 ° 42 ' 06 ″ (J2000), JAM 1 exhibits a nearly spherical morphology with an angular diameter of ≈864″ ( 14 . ' 4 ). The object is conspicuous in [O III], while in Hα it

    An X-ray study of the binary system IGR J17503-2636
    We study the temporal and spectral characteristics of the X-ray emission of the hard X-ray transient binary system IGR~J17503--2636 to characterize its variability and spectral properties. This source was observed by XMM-Newton on April 3, 2020 with an exposure time of ${\sim}27~\mathrm{ks}$. The light curves show variability on several timescales

    Rol de la transferencia de masa en binarias de objetos compactos
    Understanding the properties, formation, and evolutionary path of high- mass star systems is a fundamental research topic in stellar astrophysics. Under certain conditions, massive binaries form gravitationally bound compact objects capable of merging in less than the age of the Universe, producing gravitational waves detectable by observatories
