Eclipsing Binary Stars from Space [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractWe have begun a programme to obtain high-precision photometry of bright detached eclipsing binary (dEB) stars with the Wide-field InfraRed Explorer (WIRE) satellite (Bruntt & Buzasi 2006). Due to the small aperture of WIRE, only stars brighter than V = 6 can be observed.

A Search for Exoplanets in Short-Period Binary Star Systems [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012 This paper reports the progress of a search for exoplanets with S-type orbits in short-period binary star systems. The selected targets have stellar orbital periods of just a few days. These systems are eclipsing binaries so that exoplanet transits, if

Eclipsing Binary Stars in Nearby Galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2006 We briefly discuss the survey programme we are conducting to detect eclipsing binaries in local group galaxies. Some lightcurves from studies of M31, IC 1613 and NGC 6822 are presented along with details of future work.

Eclipsing Binaries in Multiple Star Systems [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 Although the majority of the known eclipsing binaries are in systems which consist of only the two eclipsing components, a significant number of them do occur as components of triple star systems or higher order multiple star systems. In this context this term is restricted to those systems whose components are in closed orbits.

Accurate fundamental parameters of eclipsing binary stars [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2004 The study of detached eclipsing binaries is one of the most powerful ways to investigate the properties of individual stars and stellar systems. We present preliminary masses, radii and effective temperatures for the eclipsing binary WW Aurigae, which is composed of two metallic-lined A-type stars.

A catalogue of temperatures for Kepler eclipsing binary stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 We have combined the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalogue with information from the HES, KIS and 2MASS photometric surveys to produce spectral energy distribution fits to over 2600 eclipsing binaries in the catalogue over a wavelength range of 0.36 to 2.16 .

A CONSTRUCTION OF A SEMI-AUTOMATIC TELESCOPE FOR ECLIPSE TIMING OBSERVATIONS OF ECLIPSING BINARY STARS [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2003 We constructed the photometric observation system with a small semi-automatic telescope for the systematic observations of eclipse timings of eclipsing binary stars.

Eclipsing binary stars in the era of massive surveys First results and future prospects
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Our thinking about eclipsing binary stars has undergone a tremendous change in the last decade. Eclipsing binary stars are one of nature’s best laboratories for determining the fundamental physical properties of stars and thus for testing the predictions

The Amateur and Eclipsing Binary Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1988 Probably no other branch of science has benefited as much from the work of dedicated amateurs as has the science of Astronomy. While some amateurs have made many useful types of astronomical observations– comets, meteors, occultations, etc. – perhaps none has been as extensive and as useful as those made in the field of variable stars.
