The Photometric Study of Six W UMa Systems and Investigation of the Mass–Radius Relations for Contact Binary Stars [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2022 We present the photometric analysis of six short-period systems (EI Oct, V336 TrA, NX Boo, V356 Boo, PS Boo, and V2282 Cyg). This is the first photometric analysis of these systems except for V336 TrA.

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.

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 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.

Theories of Contact Binary Stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1980 We review and contrast two current theories for the structure of contact binary stars: discontinuity theory and thermal relaxation oscillation theory. We find that the two theories are complementary with the crucial theoretical issue to be resolved being the secular stability of the temperature inversion layer. Critical observational tests remain to be

From a Dinuclear System to Close Binary Cosmic Objects
Astronomy, 2023 Applying the ideas from microscopic objects to macroscopic stellar and galactic systems, the evolution of compact di-stars and di-galaxies is studied in the mass asymmetry coordinate. The formation of stable binary systems is analyzed.

Photometric study of contact binary star MW And [PDF]
New Astronomy, 2019 The Tarleton Observatory's 0.8m telescope and CCD photometer were used to obtain 1298 observations of the short period eclipsing binary star MW And. The observations were obtained in Johnson's BVR filters. The light curves show that MW And is an eclipsing binary star with a period of 0.26376886 days. Further analysis showed that the period of MW And is
