The Strength and Shapes of Contact Binary Objects [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
While contact binary objects are common in the solar system, their formation mechanism is unclear. In this work we examine several contact binaries and calculate the necessary strength parameters that allow the two lobes to merge without the smaller of ...

A Photometric Study of Near-Contact Binary ZZ Aur [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2002
The BVR CCD full light curves of ZZ Aur were obtained as one of the near-contact binary observing programs at the Sobaek Mt. Observatory during Feb. 2000 - Feb. 2001. From the present observations, three primary and seven secondary times of minimum light

TV UMi: A Shallowly Eclipsing Marginal-Contact Binary

open access: yesGalaxies
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.

Composite contact of binary lipid membranes

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal E, 2013
Upon adhesion, binary lipid membranes may retain their structural identity but they may also undergo partial fusion promoted by microscopic phase separation of the components. In membranes composed of cylindrical and inverted conical lipids, a partially fused contact zone may consist of inverted micelles sandwiched between two monolayers.

Photoelectric Observations and Analysis of the Contact Binary W UMa [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2001
The unpublished photoelectric observations of the contact binary W UMa in ultraviolet, blue, and yellow bandpasses made on four nights during the observing seasons from April, 1984 to May, 1985 were presented.

Mass-ratio distribution of contact binary stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
When the mass ratio of a contact binary system drops below the critical value $q_\mathrm{min}$, the binary undergoes the tidal Darwin instability, leading to a rapid merger and observable brightening.

Modeling contact binaries

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. Among massive stars, binary interaction is the rule rather than the exception. The closest binaries – those with periods of less than ∼10 days – undergo mass transfer during core-hydrogen burning, with many of them experiencing a nuclear-timescale contact phase.

CN Trianguli: A W-type Contact Binary Exhibiting A-type Light Curve via Starspot-induced Dimming

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present comprehensive photometric observations and analysis of the totally eclipsing binary CN Tri. The photometric solutions suggest it as an extremely low mass ratio contact binary system with q ∼ 0.08.
