to
Picture Rocks Observatory and
Astrobiology Research Center
Picture Rocks Observatory and Astrobiology Research Center is a non-profit organization determined and committed in doing research on life in the universe and cataclysmic variables. Data used for the research is collected at McDonald Observatory, fellow astronomers, and soon---from this research facility itself. The organization goal is to make leaps and bounds in the astronomy, physics, and other science fields in hopes to not only get others interested, but to understand the workings of universe.
“Space is for everybody. It’s not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That’s our new frontier out there, and it’s everybody’s business to know about space.”
– Christa McAuliffe

MAGNETIC CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES (CVs)
​
What is a Magnetic CV? Magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) are binary star systems that contain a white dwarf with a magnetic field that is strong enough to control the accretion flow from a late type Roche-lobe secondary.
The catalog is opened for all astronomers. For ideas, errors found, or knowledge of other MCVs, you can contact us.
