EL CVn-type binaries - discovery of 17 helium white dwarf precursors in bright eclipsing binary star systems [PDF]
, 2014 The star 1SWASP J024743.37−251549.2 was recently discovered to be a binary star in which an A-type dwarf star eclipses the remnant of a disrupted red giant star (WASP 0247−25 B).

Turbulence in the Atmospheres of Eclipsing Binary Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1980 Abstract:A review of the orbits and dimensions of the ζ Aurigae systems is given, based on photometric and spectrographic observations. The Ca II K-line has been studied intensively to determine the extent and uneven structure of the chromospheres of these stars; the multiple structure of this line observed at several eclipses confirms the presence of ...

HD 46407: The First Eclipsing-Binary Barium Star [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 A long-term, high-accuracy, differential uvby monitoring of a sample of 19 barium stars revealed that HD 46407, a well known barium star with an orbital period of 458 d, is an eclipsing binary. The eclipse (of the companion by the barium star) was most clearly seen in November 1988, when a dip of 0.02 mag (in y) having a FWHM of about 10 d was recorded

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.

Line of sight errors in eclipsing binary stars
, 2022 This paper will illustrate the line of sight errors in eclipsing binary stars. Due to this error, the eclipsing binary stars will not actually along be along the line of sight when the observer sees them as eclipsing. This is due to the longer time taken

Space-Based Photometry of Binary Stars: From Voyager to TESS
Universe, 2021 Binary stars are crucial laboratories for stellar physics, so have been photometric targets for space missions beginning with the very first orbiting telescope (OAO-2) launched in 1968.

Accurate fundamental parameters of eclipsing binary stars [PDF]
, 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

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.
