The first photometric analysis of the totally eclipsing contact binary V811 Cep [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 The first photometric analysis of V811 Cep was carried out. The first complete light curves of V, R and I bands are given. The analysis was carried out by the Wilson-Devinney (W-D) program, and the results show that V811 Cep is a median-contact binary (f

The solar nebula origin of (486958) Arrokoth, a primordial contact binary in the Kuiper Belt [PDF]
Science, 2020 Examining Arrokoth The New Horizons spacecraft flew past the Kuiper Belt object (486958) Arrokoth (also known as 2014 MU69) in January 2019. Because of the great distance to the outer Solar System and limited bandwidth, it will take until late 2020 to ...

ZZ Piscis Austrinus (ZZ PsA): a bright red nova progenitor and the instability mass ratio of contact binary stars [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ZZ Piscis Austrinus (ZZ PsA) is a neglected bright southern contact binary system with maximum V magnitude of 9.26. We present the first multiband photometric analysis and find the system to be in deep contact (>95 per cent) with an extremely low mass ...

Fast Derivation of Contact Binary Parameters for Large Photometric Surveys
Astronomical Journal, 2022 Thanks to an enormous release of light curves of contact binaries, it is a challenge to derive the parameters of contact binaries using the Phoebe program and the Wilson–Devinney program with the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm.

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 ...
