Low Mass Ratio Contact Binary V410 Aur and V776 Cas - II [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2005 New BVR CCD light curves of the low mass ratio contact binaries, V410 Aur and V776 Cas, were observed with the 61 cm reflector and a 2K CCD camera at the Sobaeksan Astronomical Observatory.

Mass-ratio distribution of contact binary stars
, 2023 The 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 $q_\text{min}$. When that happens, the binary undergoes the tidal Darwin

Photometric Solutions of W UMa Type Stars: GSC2576-0319 and GSC2584-1731 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2006 High-precision photometric observations were performed in BVI bandpasses using 1m robotic telescope at Mt. Lemmon Observatory for two binary stars, which are reclassified as W UMa-type systems from ROTSE(Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment ...

Determinations of its Absolute Dimensions and Distance by the Analyses of Light and Radial-Velocity Curves [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 We completed the light curves of the contact binary CK Boo for 13 nights from June to July in 2004 using the 1-m reflector and BVR filters at Mt. Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory, and determined four new times of minimum light (three timings for ...

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 ...

Activity of Contact Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1983 We discuss observational results for indicators of elevated activity of contact (W UMa-type) binaries. References are made to results for fast rotating single and detached binary (MS) stars: they are discussed in the accompanying paper by Vilhu and Rucinski.

The Evolution of a Contact Binary [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971 Test calculations have been made to study the effects of central hydrogen depletion, luminosity exchange and mass exchange on the evolution of a contact binary. The Munich Henyey programme was adapted to allow the study of both components in a time-dependent way.The first model considered was that of LUCY (Ap. J.

Models for Contact Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971 The well-known problem one has in constructing zero age contact binaries stems from the fact that given two mass values, the ratio of the radii for zero age stellar models differs from that derived from the Roche model (KUIPER 1941). Therefore one cannot achieve contact by adjusting just the distance of the two stars, since if for instance the distance
