Minimum mass ratio of contact binary stars
, 2022 Mass ratio $q$ of a contact binary star evolves due to mass transfer, magnetic braking, and thermal relaxation oscillations to small values until it crosses a critical threshold $q_\text{min}$.

Detection and Seismic Study of Gravity and Rossby Mode Pulsations in Four Contact Binaries
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report the detection of gravity ( g ) and Rossby ( r ) mode pulsations of four short-period eclipsing binaries, KIC 5439790, KIC 7501230, KIC 9350889, and KIC 9453192 based on the 4 yr Kepler high-precision photometry.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 The most promising mechanism for the formation of contact binaries involves the orbital angular momentum loss (AML) and the resulting orbital decay of detached but close synchronized binaries. The efficiency of magnetic wind braking should abruptly decrease upon formation of a contact binary because of the transformation into a system of earlier ...

The lifetime of contact binaries [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractThe lifetime of contact binaries is an important parameter for studying the evolution of contact binaries. By reproducing the relative frequency of occurrence for contact binaries, we found that the lifetime of contact binaries decreases with increasing mass of the primaries. The lifetime of contact binaries is about 4%–10% of the main sequence

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.

Basic physical properties of the low-temperature contact binary system V781 Tau and the near-contact binary system V836 Cyg [PDF]
, 2005 We present a detailed photometric study of the low-temperature contact binary V781 Tau, and the near-contact binary V836 Cyg. We have combined the parameters obtained from the light-curve analysis with those found by the spectral studies and we have ...

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 ...

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
