"Groundbreaking Discovery: Unveiling a New Eclipsing Cataclysmic Variable System"
Astronomers using the Spektr-RG spacecraft and the Zwicky Transient Facility have discovered a new eclipsing cataclysmic variable system called SRGeJ0453. This system is an AM CVn system, which is a rare type of cataclysmic variable where a white dwarf accretes hydrogen-poor matter from a compact companion star. SRGeJ0453 has an orbital period of 55.08 minutes and is located about 780 light years away from Earth. The system exhibits deep eclipses in its optical light curves and shows a high X-ray to optical flux ratio. Further studies are needed to confirm its possible magnetic nature.
