- Description:
- In this paper, we present a complete reanalysis of the eclipsing systems, CM Dra, composed of two dM4.5 stars. New and existing light curves as well as a radial velocity curve are modeled to measure the physical properties of both components. The masses and radii determined for the components of CM Dra are M1=0.2310+/-0.0009M_{sun}_, M2=0.2141+/-0.0010M_{sun}_, R1=0.2534+/-0.0019R_{sun}_, and R2=0.2396+/-0.0015R_{sun}_. With relative uncertainties well below the 1% level, these values constitute the most accurate properties to date for fully convective stars.

- Description:
- We report extensive spectroscopic and differential V-band photometric observations of the 18.4 day detached double-lined eclipsing binary LV Her (F9V), which has the highest eccentricity (e~0.613) among the systems with well-measured properties. We determine the absolute masses and radii of the components to be M1=1.193+/-0.010M_{sun}_, M2=1.1698+/-0.0081M_{sun}_, R1=1.358+/-0.012R_{sun}_, and R2=1.313+/-0.011R_{sun}_, with fractional errors of 0.9% or better. The effective temperatures are 6060+/-150K and 6030+/-150K, respectively, and the overall metallicity is estimated to be [m/H]=+0.08+/-0.21. A comparison with current stellar evolution models for this composition indicates an excellent fit for an age between 3.8 and 4.2Gyr, with both stars being near the middle of their main-sequence lifetimes. Full integration of the equations for tidal evolution is consistent with the high eccentricity, and suggests that the stars' spin axes are aligned with the orbital axis, and that their rotations should be pseudo-synchronized. The latter prediction is not quite in agreement with the measured projected rotational velocities.

- AR Mon photometry and radial velocities
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- New differential UBV photoelectric photometry and echelle spectroscopy for the eclipsing binary AR Mon are presented. A total of 46 radial velocities for each component are obtained using the TODCOR procedure. We solve the new and previously published multicolor light curves simultaneously with the new radial velocities using the latest version of the Wilson-Devinney program. We confirm that AR Mon is a semidetached binary consisting of two evolved giant stars and is a member of the rare class of "cool Algols".

- Beta Lyr radial velocities and UBV data

- Description:
- A preliminary analysis of an extensive collection of interferometric, spectroscopic and photometric observations of the bright Be star {beta} Lyr lead to the following main conclusions: (1) The bulk of the H{alpha} and He I 6678 emission seems to originate in jets of material perpendicular to the orbital plane of the binary. The jets are associated with the more massive component of the binary (star 1) and probably emanate from the `hot spot' in the disk, i.e. the region of interaction of the gas stream flowing from the Roche-lobe filling B6-8II component (star 2) toward star 1. Some contribution to the emission also comes from a region located between the two stars (the gas stream and the `hot spot') and from the `pseudoatmosphere' of the accretion disk around star 1. (2) The 282-d cyclic variation of the light curve of {beta} Lyr is confirmed on the basis of 2852 homogenized V-band observations covering an interval of 36yrs. We find, however, that the amplitude and phase of these variations vary with the orbital phase: the long-term modulation of the light curve almost disappears near orbital phases 0.25P and 0.50P (elongation and secondary eclipse). (3) Pronounced line-profile variations of the H{alpha} and He I 6678 lines on a time scale shorter than one orbital period were clearly detected. They may be periodic, with a period near 4.70-4.75d, and this periodicity may be related to the 282-d change via the orbital period.

- BVI and RV curves of 5 eclipsing binaries

- Description:
- We detected tertiary components of close binaries from spectroscopy and light curve modelling, investigated the light-travel time effect and the possibility of magnetic activity cycles, measured mass ratios for unstudied systems, and derived absolute parameters. We carried out new photometric and spectroscopic observations of five bright close eclipsing binaries, predominantly in the southern skies. We obtained full Johnson BV light curves, which were modelled with the Wilson-Devinney code. Radial velocities were measured with the cross-correlation method using IAU radial velocity standards as spectral templates. Period changes were studied with the O-C method, utilising published epochs of minimum light (XY Leo) and ASAS photometry (VZ Lib). For three objects (DX Tuc, QY Hya, V870 Ara), absolute parameters have been determined for the first time. We spectroscopically detected the tertiary components in XY Leo and VZ Lib and discovered one in QY Hya. For XY Leo we updated the light-time effect parameters and detected a secondary periodicity of about 5100d in the O-C diagram that may hint at the existence of short-period magnetic cycles. A combination of recent photometric data shows that the orbital period of the tertiary star in VZ Lib is likely to be over 1500d. QY Hya is a semi-detached X-ray active binary in a triple system with K and M-type components, while V870 Ara is a contact binary with the third smallest spectroscopic mass ratio for a W UMa star to date. Being close to the theoretical minimum for contact binaries, this small mass ratio suggests that V870 Ara has the potential of constraining evolutionary scenarios of binary mergers. The inferred distances to these systems are compatible with the Hipparcos parallaxes.

- CDS
- Description:
- The study of stellar multiple systems provides us with important information about the stellar formation processes and can help us to estimate the multiplicity fraction in the Galaxy. 65 UMa belongs to a rather small group of stellar systems of higher multiplicity, whose inner and outer orbits are well-known. This allows us to study the long-term stability and evolution of the orbits in these systems. We obtained new photometric and spectroscopic data that when combined with interferometric data enables us to analyze the system 65 UMa and determine its basic physical properties.

- Description:
- Accurate absolute properties have been determined for the eclipsing triple star CO And (F8+F8) based on extensive differential photometry obtained by three robotic observatories and CfA spectroscopy. The eclipsing binary star orbit is circular with a period of 3.655days. The triple nature of this system is revealed by more than a century of timings of minimum light, and by the presence of third light in the photometric orbits.

- Differential BV photometry of VV Crv
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/146/146
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have obtained red-wavelength spectroscopy and Johnson B and V differential photoelectric photometry of the eclipsing binary VV Crv=HR 4821. The system is the secondary of the common proper motion double star ADS 8627, which has a separation of 5.2". VV Crv has an orbital period of 3.144536 days and a low but non-zero eccentricity of 0.085. With the Wilson-Devinney program we have determined a simultaneous solution of our spectroscopic and photometric observations. Those orbital elements produce masses of M_1_=1.978+/-0.010M_{sun}_ and M_2_=1.513+/-0.008M_{sun}_, and radii of R_1_=3.375+/-0.010R_{sun}_ and R_2_=1.650+/-0.008R_{sun}_for the primary and secondary, respectively. The effective temperatures of the two components are 6500K (fixed) and 6638K, so the star we call the primary is the more massive but cooler and larger component. A comparison with evolutionary tracks indicates that the components are metal rich with [Fe/H]=0.3, and the system has an age of 1.2Gyr. The primary is near the end of its main-sequence lifetime and is rotating significantly faster than its pseudosynchronous velocity. The secondary is still well ensconced on the main sequence and is rotating more slowly than its pseudosynchronous rate.

- Differential V-band phot. & RVs of V506 Oph
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/876/41
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report extensive differential V-band photometry and high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the early F-type, 1.06-day detached eclipsing binary V506 Oph. The observations, along with times of minimum light from the literature, are used to derive a very precise ephemeris and the physical properties for the components, with the absolute masses and radii being determined to 0.7% or better. The masses are 1.4153+/-0.0100M_{sun}_ and 1.4023+/-0.0094M_{sun}_ for the primary and secondary, the radii are 1.725+/-0.010R_{sun}_ and 1.692+/-0.012R_{sun}_, and the effective temperatures are 6840+/-150K and 6780+/-110K, respectively. The orbit is circular and the stars are rotating synchronously. The accuracy of the radii and temperatures is supported by the resulting distance estimate of 564+/-30pc, which is in excellent agreement with the value implied by the trigonometric parallax listed in the Gaia/Data Release 2 catalog. Current stellar evolution models from the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) Isochrones and Stellar Tracks series for a composition of [Fe/H]=-0.04 match the properties of both stars in V506 Oph very well at an age of 1.83Gyr and indicate they are halfway through their core hydrogen-burning phase.
