Ultra-short Period Binaries from the Catalina Surveys [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate the properties of 367 ultra-short period binary candidates selected from 31,000 sources recently identified from Catalina Surveys data. Based on light curve morphology, along with WISE, SDSS and GALEX multi-colour photometry, we identify ...

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.

The Evolution of Contact Binaries [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1976 Asymmetric light curves and period changes of contact binaries can be explained by large-scale prominence activity. From the mass outflow accompanying this activity the mean lifetime of a contact binary is estimated as 5 × 107 yr. From the lifetimes of contact binaries and normal solar type dwarfs on the one hand and the proportion of the former among ...

Contact Binary Variables as X-ray Sources [PDF]
, 2005 We present cross-identification of archived X-ray point sources with W UMa variable stars found in the All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS). In a surveyed sky area of 300 square degrees of ASAS, 36 W UMa stars have been found associated with X-ray emission ...

The detached-binary channel for the formation of contact binaries [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 The detached-binary channel is an important channel for the formation of contact binaries, according to which a detached binary might evolve into contact by evolutionary expansion of the components, or angular momentum loss through the effect of magnetic braking (MB).

Period Change of the Contact Binary AH Tauri [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 New BVRI photometric observations of the contact binary AH Tau were performed with the 61 cm reflector and a 2K CCD camera at the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory during seven nights from September to December, 2001. A total of 144 times of minima

The Plutino Population: An Abundance of Contact Binaries [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Abstract We observed 12 Plutinos over two separated years with the 4.3 m Lowell’s Discovery Channel Telescope. Here, we present the first light-curve data for those objects. Three of them (2014 JL80, 2014 JO80, and 2014 JQ80) display a large light-curve amplitude explainable by a single elongated object, but they are most likely caused ...

Contact Binaries of Spectral Type O [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1979 The eclipsing binaries UW CMa, AO Cas, and V729 Cyg have been systems of great interest for over fifty years. The light curves are complex and suffer significant changes on a time scale of months, but the primary attraction of these systems is that both components have O-type spectra; thus they present us with some of the few possibilities for direct ...

OBSERVED PROPERTIES OF CONTACT BINARY SYSTEMS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 A group of close eclipsing systems, which continues to pose a challenge in many subjects of modern astrophysics, is that of contact binaries. In this study, using the most recent observational data of a large sample of such systems, a review concerning ...
