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 ...

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1983 Abstract:Ultraviolet and X-ray surveys of the W Ursae Majoris type stars are reviewed. These systems exhibit extended coronas and transition regions that are confined close to the optically determined surfaces. Correlations of X-ray activity with period or rotational velocity indicate a turn-over or saturation of emission at the short periods or high ...

The Binary Contact Path Process
The Annals of Probability, 1983 We study some $\{0, 1, \cdots\}^{z^d}$ valued Markov interactions $\eta_t$ called contact path processes. These are similar to branching random walks, in that the normalized size process starting from a singleton is a martingale which converges to a limit $M_\infty$.

Disk Comtact Networks in a Binary Disk System by Photoelasticity [PDF]
, 2002 Disk contact networks in binary disk systems under compression were measured by using photoelasticity. Two types of acrylic resin cylinders with diameters of 8 mm or 10mm and a height of 10 mm were used as binary disks, which were packed at random into ...

The evolution of binary stars into contact states [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 1989 AbstractGood-quality empirical results on 62 short-period binary stars recently summarised by Hilditch & Bell (1987) and Hilditch, King & McFarlane (1988) are discussed in terms of evolutionary paths from detached to semi-detached and contact states.

On the properties of contact binary stars
, 2004 We have compiled a catalogue of light curve solutions of contact binary stars. It contains the results of 159 light curve solutions. The properties of contact binary stars were studied using the catalogue data. As is well known since Lucy's (
