The Evolution of the Supersoft X-Ray Source WX Cen Dominated by Magnetic Wind

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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

Variability of Young Massive Stars in the Galactic Super Star Cluster Westerlund 1

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents the first optical variability study of the Westerlund 1 super star cluster in search of massive eclipsing binary systems. A total of 129 new variable stars have been identified, including the discovery of 4 eclipsing binaries that are

Asteroseismology of binary stars and a compilation of core overshoot and rotational frequency values of OB stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
After a brief introduction into the asteroseismic modelling of stars, we provide a compilation of the current seismic estimates of the core overshooting parameter and of the rotational frequency of single and binary massive stars. These important stellar

New Light Curve Analysis for Large Numbers of Eclipsing Binaries I. Detached and Semi-Detached Binaries [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2010
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 ...

The Frequency of Binary Stars in the Core of 47 Tucanae

open access: yes, 2001
Differential time series photometry has been derived for 46422 main-sequence stars in the core of 47 Tucanae. The observations consisted of near-continuous 160-s exposures alternating between the F555W and F814W filters for 8.3 days in 1999 July with ...

FX UMa: A New Heartbeat Binary System with Linear and Nonlinear Tidal Oscillations and δ Sct Pulsations

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present a detailed analysis of an eclipsing double-lined binary FX UMa based on TESS photometry and newly acquired spectroscopic observations. The radial velocities and atmospheric parameters for each component star are obtained from the SONG high ...

Constraining the Variability and Binary Fraction of Galactic Center Young Stars

open access: yes, 2016
We present constraints on the variability and binarity of young stars in the central 10 arcseconds (~0.4 pc) of the Milky Way Galactic Center (GC) using Keck Adaptive Optics data over a 12 year baseline.

Eclipsing binaries in the MACHO database: New periods and classifications for 3031 systems in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Eclipsing binaries offer a unique opportunity to determine fundamental physical parameters of stars using the constraints on the geometry of the systems. Here we present a reanalysis of publicly available two-color observations of about 6800 stars in the

The Evolutionary Statuses of Solar Type Detached Eclipsing Binary Stars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012
We presented fundamental stellar parameters and evolutionary statuses of six solar type detached eclipsing binaries whose masses are in the range of 0.97-1.43 M⊙. EK Cep and FL Lyr belong to the zero age main sequence.
