Determinations of its Absolute Dimensions and Distance by the Analyses of Light and Radial-Velocity Curves [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 We completed the light curves of the contact binary CK Boo for 13 nights from June to July in 2004 using the 1-m reflector and BVR filters at Mt. Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory, and determined four new times of minimum light (three timings for ...

Determinations of its Absolute Dimensions and Distance by the Analyses of Light and Radial-Velocity Curves of the Contact Binary -I. V417 Aquilae [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 New photometric and spectroscopic solutions of W-type overcontact binary V417 Aql were obtained by solving the UBV light curves of Samec et al. (1997) and radial-velocity ones of Lu & Rucinski (1999) with the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney binary ...

Activity of Contact Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1983 We discuss observational results for indicators of elevated activity of contact (W UMa-type) binaries. References are made to results for fast rotating single and detached binary (MS) stars: they are discussed in the accompanying paper by Vilhu and Rucinski.

The Evolution of a Contact Binary [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971 Test calculations have been made to study the effects of central hydrogen depletion, luminosity exchange and mass exchange on the evolution of a contact binary. The Munich Henyey programme was adapted to allow the study of both components in a time-dependent way.The first model considered was that of LUCY (Ap. J.

Models for Contact Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971 The well-known problem one has in constructing zero age contact binaries stems from the fact that given two mass values, the ratio of the radii for zero age stellar models differs from that derived from the Roche model (KUIPER 1941). Therefore one cannot achieve contact by adjusting just the distance of the two stars, since if for instance the distance

Detection and Seismic Study of Gravity and Rossby Mode Pulsations in Four Contact Binaries
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report the detection of gravity ( g ) and Rossby ( r ) mode pulsations of four short-period eclipsing binaries, KIC 5439790, KIC 7501230, KIC 9350889, and KIC 9453192 based on the 4 yr Kepler high-precision photometry.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 The most promising mechanism for the formation of contact binaries involves the orbital angular momentum loss (AML) and the resulting orbital decay of detached but close synchronized binaries. The efficiency of magnetic wind braking should abruptly decrease upon formation of a contact binary because of the transformation into a system of earlier ...

The lifetime of contact binaries [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractThe lifetime of contact binaries is an important parameter for studying the evolution of contact binaries. By reproducing the relative frequency of occurrence for contact binaries, we found that the lifetime of contact binaries decreases with increasing mass of the primaries. The lifetime of contact binaries is about 4%–10% of the main sequence

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1976 Observational statements about close and contact binaries are compared with the theoretical consequences of assuming that contact binaries have a common convective envelope. It is concluded that such contact systems cannot be in thermal equilibrium, and that the inefficiency of convective heat transport in the common envelope must be allowed for.
