A contact binary satellite of the asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh. [PDF]

Nature
Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques (that is, YORP, short for the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect)1 to be a notable factor in their evolution2.

Massive Contact Binary Systems [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991
In recent years very massive single stars have been found to be upward of 90 M⊙. Massive contact binary systems have been found among the early-type systems, but their masses are far less than those reported for single stars. The most massive component found is about 60 M⊙.It is generally believed that no late-type very massive stars have been detected

Contact Binaries [PDF]

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.

Light Curve Analysis of Contact Binary System V523 Cassiopeiae [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2002
A total of 616 observations (308 in B, 308 in V) for V523 Cas was made on three nights from October 19 to 21 in 1999 using the 1.8m telescope with 2K CCD camera of the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory of KAO.

Binary Analysis and Period Study of the Long-period, High-mass-ratio Contact Binary KIC 7766185

The Astronomical Journal
We present an in-depth photometric and spectroscopic study of the contact binary KIC 7766185. Spectroscopic observations were conducted on the Mayall 4 m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory and used to extract radial velocities.

The Strength and Shapes of Contact Binary Objects

The 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 ...
