Masses and angular momenta of contact binary stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2006 Abstract Results are presented on component masses and system angular momenta for over 100 low-temperature contact binaries. It is found that the secondary components in close binary systems are very similar in mass. Our observational evidence strongly supports the argument that the evolutionary process goes from near-contact binaries to

Absolute Dimensions of Contact Binary Stars in Baade Window [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 The light curves of the representative 6 contact binary stars observed by OGLE Project of searching for dark matter in our Galaxy have been analyzed by the method of the Wilson and Devinney Differential Correction to find photometric solutions.

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 $q_\text{min}$. When that happens, the binary undergoes the tidal Darwin instability leading to a rapid coalescence of the components and observable brightening of the system ...

The light-curve intrinsic variability in 47 Kepler contact binary stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT This work studies the significance of light-curve intrinsic variability in the numerical modelling of contact binaries. Using synthetic light curves, we show that the starspot-based intrinsic variability increases the apparent mass ratio by $\Delta q=5{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$.

Origin of the orbital period change in contact binary stars [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2019 The evolution of contact binary star systems in mass asymmetry (transfer) coordinate is considered. The orbital period changes are explained by an evolution in mass asymmetry towards the symmetry (symmetrization of binary system). It is predicted that decreasing and increasing orbital periods are related, respectively, with the nonoverlapping and ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 1981 Densities, corrected primary colors, minimum periods, inferred masses, luminosities, and specific angular momenta are computed from data on 37 W Ursae Majoris systems. A-type systems, having lower densities and angular momenta than the W-type systems, are shown to be evolved, and a new class of contact binary is identified, the OO Aquilae systems ...

Detection of Contact Binary Candidates Observed By TESS Using the Autoencoder Neural Network [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalA contact binary may be the progenitor of a red nova that eventually produces a merger event and have a cut-off period of around 0.2 days. Therefore, a large number of contact binaries is needed to search for the progenitor of red novae and to study the ...
