Space-Based Photometry of Binary Stars: From Voyager to TESS
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.

Turbulence in the Atmospheres of Eclipsing Binary Stars [PDF]
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 ...

Hidden Companions Detected by Asteroseismology. I. Two Kepler Field Non-Eclipsing Binaries
The Kepler space telescope has detected a large number of variable stars. We summarize 2261 δ Scuti and hybrid variables in the literature, and perform time-frequency analysis on these variable stars. Two non-eclipsing binary systems, KIC 5080290 and KIC

The Mass and Angular Momentum Relation of Eclipsing Binaries [PDF]
With a total 3780 eclipsing binary system in the Catalogue of Approximate Photometric and Absolute Elements of Eclipsing Variable Stars by Svechnikov & Kuznetsova (1990), the empirical relations between the systemic mass and orbital angular momentum have

Photometric Observations of Eccentric Accretion in Algol-type Binary Stars [PDF]
Some Algol-type interacting binary stars exhibit strange photometric variations that can be phase-dependent and/or secular. This paper discusses the possibility of explaining these observed variations as resulting from an accretion structure eclipsing ...

New Light Curve Analysis for Large Numbers of Eclipsing Binaries I. Detached and Semi-Detached Binaries [PDF]
Several survey observations have produced light curves of more than five thousand eclipsing binaries for last 15 years. Future missions such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan ...

Roberts of Lovedale and Eclipsing Binary Stars [PDF]
Alexander William Roberts, a great humanitarian and teacher in South Africa, was also a luminary in the astronomical world. This paper discusses his work on variable stars and touches briefly on his career in other areas. Born and educated in Scotland, Roberts migrated to South Africa in 1883, at age 25, to teach at the Native College at Lovedale.

The Evolution of the Supersoft X-Ray Source WX Cen Dominated by Magnetic Wind
WX Cen is most likely one of the Galactic counterparts of compact binary supersoft X-ray sources as a member of the V Sagittae class, in which mass is transferred from a donor secondary to a massive white dwarf primary via an accretion disk. Based on the
