- 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:
- In this work we describe a large new sample of contact binary stars extracted in a uniform manner from sky patrol data taken by the ROTSE-I telescope. Extensive ROTSE-I light-curve data are combined with J-, H-, and K-band near-infrared data taken from the Two Micron All Sky Survey to add color information.

- Algol-type binaries. VIII. DI Peg & AF Gem

- Description:
- New extensive photometry for two triple binary stars, DI Peg and AF Gem, was performed from 2012 October to 2013 January, with two small telescopes at Xinglong station (XLs) of NAOC. From new multi-color observations and previously published ones in literature, the photometric models were (re)deduced using the updated Wilson-Devinney code. The results indicated that the low third lights exist in two classic Algol-type binaries, whose fill-out factors for the more massive components are f_p_=78.2(+/-0.4)% for DI Peg, and f_p_=69.0(+/-0.3)% for AF Gem, respectively. Through analyzing the O-C curves, the orbital periods for two binaries change in the complicated mode. The period of DI Peg possibly appears to show two light-time orbits, whose modulated periods are P_3_=54.6(+/-0.5)yr and P_4_=23.0(+/-0.6)yr, respectively. The inferred minimum masses for the inner and outer sub-stellar companions are M_in_=0.095M_{sun}_ and M_out_=0.170M_{sun}_, respectively. Therefore, DI Peg may be a quadruple star. The orbital period of AF Gem appears to show a continuous period decrease or a cyclic variation; the latter may be preferable. The cyclic oscillation, with a period of 120.3(+/-2.5)yr, may be attributed to the light-time effect due to the third body. This kind of additional companion may extract angular momentum from the central system, which may play a key role in the evolution of the binary.

- Description:
- We present the first multiband photometry for the semidetached eclipsing binary AO Serpentis, observed on seven nights between 2009 April and July at the Weihai Observatory of Shandong University. By using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney code, the photometric solutions of AO Ser and a similar object V338 Her were (re)deduced. The spectral types and orbital periods are A2 and P=0.8793-days for AO Ser, F1V and P=1.3057-days for V338 Her.

- Apsidal motions of 90 SMC eccentric binaries
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/460/650
- Date:

- Description:
- We examined light curves of 1138 stars brighter than 18.0mag in the I band and less than a mean magnitude error of 0.1mag in the V band from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE)-III eclipsing binary catalogue, and found 90 new binary systems exhibiting apsidal motion. In this study, the samples of apsidal motion stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) were increased by a factor of about 3.0 than previously known. In order to determine the period of the apsidal motion for the binaries, we analysed in detail both the light curves and eclipse timings using the MACHO (MAssive Compact Halo Objects) and OGLE photometric data base. For the eclipse timing diagrams of the systems, new times of minimum light were derived from the full light curve combined at intervals of one year from the survey data. The new 90 binaries have apsidal motion periods in the range of 12-897yr. An additional short-term oscillation was detected in four systems (OGLE-SMC-ECL-1634, 1947, 3035, and 4946), which most likely arises from the existence of a third body orbiting each eclipsing binary. Since the systems presented here are based on homogeneous data and have been analysed in the same way, they are suitable for further statistical analysis.

- AQ Boo VRI differential light curves

- Description:
- We obtained the first VRI CCD light curves of the short-period contact eclipsing binary AQ Boo, which was observed on March 22 and April 19 in 2014 at Xinglong station of National Astronomical Observatories, and on January 20, 21 and February 28 in 2015 at Kunming station of Yunnan Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. Using our six newly obtained minima and the minima that other authors obtained previously, we revised the ephemeris of AQ Boo. By fitting the O-C (observed minus calculated) values of the minima, the orbital period of AQ Boo shows a decreasing tendency dP/dt=-1.47(0.17)x10^-17^day/year. We interpret the phenomenon by mass transfer from the secondary (more massive) component to the primary (less massive) one. By using the updated Wilson & Devinney (1971ApJ...166..605W) program, we also derived the photometric orbital parameters of AQ Boo for the first time. We conclude that AQ Boo is a near contact binary with a low contact factor of 14.43%, and will become an over-contact system as the mass transfer continues.

- Description:
- We have started a spectroscopic survey to identify new chromospherically active components and low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in recently discovered All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) eclipsing binaries. In this paper, we briefly describe our scientific motivation, the observing tools and the results obtained from the first phase of this survey. Using the available observing facilities in India, the spectroscopic observations of a sample of 180 candidate eclipsing binary stars selected from ASAS-I&II releases were carried out during 2004-2006. The strength of Halpha emission was used to characterize the level of chromospheric activity. Our spectroscopic survey reveals that out of 180 stars about 36 binary systems show excess Halpha emission. One of the objects in our sample, ASAS 081700-4243.8, displays very strong Halpha emission. Follow-up high-resolution spectroscopic observations reveal that this object is indeed very interesting and most likely a classical Be-type system with K0III companion.

- AS CrB BVRI light curves

- Description:
- The first high-precision BVRI light curves of the eclipsing binary AS CrB were presented and were analyzed by the 2015 version of the W-D code. It is found that AS CrB is an extreme mass-ratio, deep contact binary with a fill-out factor of f=59.6+/-2.5% and a mass ratio of q=0.172+/-0.008q=0.172+/-0.008. Based on the photometric solution and the Dartmouth isochrones model, the masses, radii, and luminosities of the components are estimated as follows: M_1_=1.25+/-0.15M_{sun}_, M_1_=1.25+/-0.15M_{sun}_, M_2_=0.21+/-0.06M_{sun}_, M_2_=0.21+/-0.06M_{sun}_, R_1_=1.40+/-0.07R_{sun}_, R_1_=1.40+/-0.07R_{sun}_, R_2_=0.67+/-0.04R_{sun}_, R_2_=0.67+/-0.04R_{sun}_, L_1_=3.2+/-0.2L_{sun}_, L_1_=3.2+/-0.2L_{sun}_, and L_2_=0.72+/-0.04L_{sun}_, L_2_=0.72+/-0.04L_{sun}_, with an estimated distance 459+/-42pc. These uncertainties mainly come from the errors of the color used to estimate the temperature of the primary star. By investigating all of the available times of light minima, it is found that the Observed-Calculated [(O-C)(O-C)] curve shows a long-term period increase, with a rate of dP/dt=+(3.46+/-0.01)x10^-7^dP/dt=+(3.46+/-0.01)x10^-7^day/year. As an extreme mass-ratio contact binary, AS CrB may merge into a single star, such as an FK Com-type star or a blue straggler, because of the orbital instability.
