- Description:
- Radial velocity measurements and sine-curve fits to the orbital velocity variations are presented for nine contact binaries: V1464 Aql, V759 Cen, DE Oct, MW Pav, BQ Phe, EL Aqr, SX Crv, VZ Lib, and GR Vir. For the first five of these, our observations are the first available radial velocity data. For the three remaining radial velocity variables, CE Hyi is a known visual binary, while CL Cet and V1084 Sco are suspected to be multiple systems in which the contact binary is spectrally dominated by its companion (which itself is a binary in V1084 Sco). Five additional variable stars, V872 Ara, BD Cap, HIP 69300, BX Ind, and V388 Pav, are of unknown type, but most are pulsating stars; we give their mean radial velocities and vsini.

- Description:
- Between 1996 and 2003 we obtained 226 high resolution spectra of 16 stars in the field of the young open cluster NGC 6913, to constrain its main properties and study its internal kinematics. Twelve of the program stars turned out to be members, one of them probably unbound. Nine are binaries (one eclipsing and another double lined) and for seven of them the observations allowed us to derive the orbital elements. All but two of the nine discovered binaries are cluster members. In spite of the young age (a few Myr), the cluster already shows signs that could be interpreted as evidence of dynamical relaxation and mass segregation. However, they may be also the result of an unconventional formation scenario. The dynamical (virial) mass as estimated from the radial velocity dispersion is larger than the cluster luminous mass, which may be explained by a combination of the optically thick interstellar cloud that occults part of the cluster, the unbound state or undetected very wide binary orbit of some of the members that inflate the velocity dispersion and a high inclination for the axis of possible cluster angular momentum. All the discovered binaries are hard enough to survive average close encounters within the cluster and do not yet show signs of relaxation of the orbital elements to values typical of field binaries.

- Description:
- We present a determination of the precise fundamental physical parameters of 20 detached, double-lined, eclipsing binary stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) containing G- or early K-type giant stars. Eleven are new systems; the remaining nine are systems already analyzed by our team for which we present updated parameters. The catalog results from our long-term survey of eclipsing binaries in the Magellanic Clouds suitable for high-precision determination of distances (the Araucaria Project). The V-band brightnesses of the systems range from 15.4 to 17.7mag, and their orbital periods range from 49 to 773days. Six systems have favorable geometry showing total eclipses. The absolute dimensions of all eclipsing binary components are calculated with a precision of better than 3%, and all systems are suitable for a precise distance determination. The measured stellar masses are in the range 1.4 to 4.6M_{sun}_, and comparison with the MESA isochrones gives ages between 0.1 and 2.1Gyr. The systems show an age-metallicity relation with no evolution of metallicity for systems older than 0.6Gyr, followed by a rise to a metallicity maximum at age 0.5Gyr and then a slow metallicity decrease until 0.1Gyr. Two systems have components with very different masses: OGLE LMC-ECL-05430 and OGLE LMC-ECL-18365. Neither system can be fitted by a single stellar evolution isochrone, explained by a past mass transfer scenario in the case of ECL-18365 and a gravitational capture or hierarchical binary merger scenario in the case of ECL-05430. The longest-period system, OGLE LMC SC9_230659, shows a surprising apsidal motion that shifts the apparent position of the eclipses. This is a clear sign of a physical companion to the system; however, neither investigation of the spectra nor light-curve analysis indicates a third-light contribution larger than 2%-3%. In one spectrum of OGLE LMC-ECL-12669, we noted a peculiar dimming of one of the components by 65% well outside of the eclipses. We interpret this observation as arising from an extremely rare occultation event, as a foreground Galactic object covers only one component of an extragalactic eclipsing binary.

- Description:
- Radial velocity measurements and sine-curve fits to orbital velocity variations are presented for the ninth set of 10 close binary systems: V395 And, HS Aqr, V449 Aur, FP Boo, SW Lac, KS Peg, IW Per, V592 Per, TU UMi, and FO Vir. The first three are very close, possibly detached, early-type binaries, and all three require further investigation. Particularly interesting is V395 And, whose spectral type is as early as B7/8 for a 0.685 day orbit binary. KS Peg and IW Per are single-line binaries, with the former probably hosting a very low mass star. We have detected a low-mass secondary in an important semidetached system, FO Vir, at q=0.125+/-0.005. The contact binary FP Boo is also a very small mass ratio system, q=0.106+/-0.005. The other contact binaries in this group are V592 Per, TU UMi, and the well-known SW Lac. V592 Per and TU UMi have bright tertiary companions; for these binaries, and for V395 And, we used a novel technique of arranging the broadening functions into a two-dimensional image in phase. The case of TU UMi turned out to be intractable even using this approach, and we have not been able to derive a firm radial velocity orbit for this binary. Three systems of this group were observed spectroscopically before: HS Aqr, SW Lac, and KS Peg.

- Description:
- The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment I (ROTSE-I) experiment has generated CCD photometry for the entire northern sky in two epochs nightly since 1998 March. These sky patrol data are a powerful resource for studies of astrophysical transients. As a demonstration project, we present first results of a search for periodic variable stars derived from ROTSE-I observations. Variable identification, period determination, and type classification are conducted via automatic algorithms. In a set of nine ROTSE-I sky patrol fields covering roughly 2000 deg^2^, we identify 1781 periodic variable stars with mean magnitudes between m_v_ = 10.0 and m_v_ = 15.5. About 90% of these objects are newly identified as variable. Examples of many familiar types are presented. All classifications for this study have been manually confirmed. The selection criteria for this analysis have been conservatively defined and are known to be biased against some variable classes. This preliminary study includes only 5.6% of the total ROTSE-I sky coverage, suggesting that the full ROTSE-I variable catalog will include more than 32,000 periodic variable stars.

- Description:
- Semidetached eclipsing systems provide a unique opportunity to derive the basic properties of interacting binaries. The goal of this work is to collect and to make use of data on semidetached systems with available light and radial velocity curve solutions. I have compiled the most comprehensive list to date, of 119 semidetached double-lined eclipsing binaries, containing the orbital parameters and physical parameters of the components. I consider the classification of semidetached binaries and discuss gaps between various classes in the Hertzspung-Russell diagram. I list systems with component parameters that are inverted and briefly discuss their evolutionary state.

- Description:
- Binaries play key roles in determining stellar parameters and exploring stellar evolution models. We build a catalog of 88 eclipsing binaries with spectroscopic information, taking advantage of observations from both the Large Sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) surveys. A software pipeline is constructed to identify binary candidates by examining their light curves. The orbital periods of binaries are derived from the Lomb-Scargle method. The key distinguishing features of eclipsing binaries are recognized by a new filter, Flat Test. We classify the eclipsing binaries by applying a Fourier analysis on the light curves. Among all the binary stars, 13 binaries are identified as eclipsing binaries for the first time. The catalog contains the following information: the position, primary eclipsing magnitude and time, eclipsing depth, the number of photometry and radial velocity observations, largest radial velocity difference, binary type, the effective temperature of the observable star Teff, and surface gravity of the observable star logg. The false-positive probability is calculated by using both a Monte Carlo simulation and real data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 Standard Catalog. The binaries in the catalog are mostly with a period of less than one day. The period distribution shows a 0.22 day cutoff, which is consistent with the low probability of an eclipsing binary rotating with such a period.
