A Low Metallicity Massive Contact Binary Star System Candidate in WLM Identified by Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope Imaging

The Astrophysical Journal
We present archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST ultraviolet through near-infrared time series photometric observations of a massive minimal-contact binary candidate in the metal-poor galaxy Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte ( Z  = 0.14 Z _⊙ ).

TV UMi: A Shallowly Eclipsing Marginal-Contact Binary

Galaxies
Using twenty sectors of TESS observations and the hitherto unutilized radial velocities from the David Dunlap Observatory survey, we fully characterize the close binary TV UMi.

From Photoalignment to Structured Light: Liquid Crystal Platforms for Beam Shaping and Complex Wavefronts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photoaligned and photopatterned liquid crystal platforms provide programmable control of optical phase, polarization, and spin‐orbit interactions, enabling compact generation of structured light and complex wavefronts. This review highlights how tailored molecular orientations transform simple beams into designed optical fields, opening versatile ...

Orbital Modulation Induced by a Third Component in the Overcontact Binary V0554 Dra

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the first comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the overcontact eclipsing binary V0554 Dra. By simultaneously modeling multiband light curves and radial velocity data using the Wilson–Devinney code, we determine that the ...

Photometric Studies of the Contact Binary BV Draconis [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999
We performed CCD photometric observations of W UMa type contact binary BV Dra during eight nights from May 1996 to June 1999 using 61cm telescope at Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory, and completed BVR light curves of the system.

Dumb-bell-shaped equilibrium figures for fiducial contact-binary asteroids and EKBOs [PDF]

, 2014
In this work, we investigate the equilibrium figures of a dumb-bell-shaped sequence with which we are still not well acquainted. Studies have shown that these elongated and nonconvex figures may realistically replace the classic “Roche binary ...

Correlated Metal LaNiO3 as a p‐Type Transparent Conductor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
p‐type transparent conducting oxides are needed to enable superstrate solar cell geometries with n‐type absorbers. The p‐type correlated metal LaNiO3 combines high optical transmission with low electrical resistivity and is compatible with a range of scalable deposition processes.

A Application of WD Model to EB Type Contact Binary System [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2000
The EB type contact binaries show large temperature difference ( T 1,000K) between two components. Thus we have modified the mode 3 of the WD program to adjust albedos, limb darkening coefficients and gravity darkening exponents for both components of ...

A Novel Modified Petroresin Particle (MPRP) With Enhanced Oil–Water Selectivity for Cold Production in Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel oil–water selective conformance control agent, MPRP, is prepared via hydrophilic grafting and mechanical granulation. MPRP uniformly disperses in water, cohesively expands upon aging, and readily dissolves in the oil phase. During conformance control, it selectively aggregates in water channeling pathways to form effective plugs without ...
