    We present an analysis of publicly available X-ray and optical observations of TYC 7275-1968-1, a contact binary, red nova progenitor candidate. The long optical time series of ASAS-3, SuperWASP, CRTS, Gaia, ASASSN, and TESS enabled us to improve its orbital period to 0.3828071 ± 0.0000026 d. We show the presence of an X-ray and UV source associated with TYC 7275-1968-1 from Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, that was previously assumed to be the counterpart of CD -36 8436 (V1044 Cen), a symbiotic star located 22 arcsec from the red nova candidate. The X-ray data indicate the presence of a region with a temperature of 𝑘𝑇 = 0.8+0.9 −0.1 keV and a luminosity of 1.4+0.1 −0.2 × 1031 erg s−1 in the range 0.3 – 10 keV. The detection of X-rays and modulated UV emission suggests that both components of the binary are chromospherically active.
