- Description:
- We derive the basic physical parameters of the field double-mode RR Lyrae star BS Com from its observed periods and the requirement of consistency between the pulsational and evolutionary constraints. We performed a standard frequency analysis on the V data by discrete Fourier transformation. We derived P0=0.48791d and P1=0.36307d for the periods of the fundamental and the first overtone modes, respectively.

- Description:
- Observations and a 2015 Wilson-Devinney Program analysis are undertaken for the first precision observations of DD Indi. DD Indi is of solar-type (T_1_~5750K) and was determined to be a shallow-contact eclipsing binary. It was observed from 2013 June through September at Cerro Tololo InterAmerican Observatory in remote mode. The 24 inch Boller and Chivens reflector, now under management by The Southeastern Association for Resarch in Astronomy (SARA) was used. Five new eclipse timings were obtained, for three primary and two secondary eclipses. Seven more eclipse timings were calculated from All Sky Automated Survey data. A possibly increasing period was found from all available eclipse timings with a 5+/-2x10^-11^xE^2^ quadratic term. A BVR_c_I_c_ simultaneous synthetic light-curve analysis reveals that the system has a mass ratio of ~0.46, a ~140K component temperature difference, and two weak cool spots. The Roche Lobe fill-out of this W-type binary is only ~11%, and an inclination of ~86{deg} was determined. A time of constant light of ~16 minutes is measured around phase zero. More detail is included in this report.

- Description:
- High-precision BVR_c_I_c_ light curves of FF Vul were taken during the fall of 2015 with the Dark Sky Observatory 0.81m reflector of Appalachian State University, and the SARA north 0.91m reflector at KPNO. FF Vul is an eclipsing binary with a period of 0.44 day. A Wilson-Devinney solution shows that the binary is a near-contact, semidetached binary, i.e., with a V1010 Oph-type configuration. Five eclipse timings (three primary and two secondary) were calculated. A quadratic ephemeris was determined indicating that the period is decreasing. A near-equatorial hot spot was modeled on the cooler, secondary star, possibly caused by matter impacting from the primary component via the inner Lagrangian point. The component temperature difference is more than 1500K. The solution confirms a total secondary eclipse of 23 minutes duration. As expected in binaries of this type, there is a magnetic spot region.

- Description:
- BVR_c_I_c_ light curves of NSVS 5066754 were taken on 2014 May at Dark Sky Observatory in North Carolina. This variable is a solar-type eclipsing binary (T1~5750K) with a period of only 0.3751689(1) days. It appeared to be one of the shortest periods in Shaw's list of near-contact binaries. The Binary Maker fits and our Wilson-Devinney solutions show that the binary could have both semidetached and marginal contact binary configurations. Five new times of minimum light were calculated, along with two minima determined from archived All Sky Automated Survey observations. From these minima and the discovery epoch, a quadratic ephemeris was determined. Thus, a magnetic braking scenario is possible. Both semidetached and contact models were explored. A marginal contact solution had the best sum of square residuals. It gave a mass ratio of ~0.5, and a component temperature difference of ~360K, albeit somewhat large for a contact binary. Two substantial cool spots were determined in this solution with 37{deg} and 28{deg} radii and t-factors or 0.94 and 0.78 respectively. The fill-out is very shallow, ~106%. It may have recently achieved contact.

- Description:
- Complete Bessel BVR_c_I_c_ light curves of V1043 Cassiopeia [2MASS J00371195+5301324, Mis V1292, USNO-A2.0 1425-00875743, {alpha}(2000)=00^h^37^m^11.95^s^, {delta}(2000)=+53{deg}01'32.5"] are analyzed. The system is a member of the small group of pre-contact W UMa binaries (PCWBs). Its light curve has the appearance of an Algol (EA) light curve, however it is made up of dwarf solar type components in a detached mode with a period of only 0.6616days. The analysis includes a period study, an improved ephemeris, a mass ratio search, and a simultaneous BVR_c_I_c_ Wilson-Devinney solution. We document about 20 other PCWBs given in the literature. Several have RS CVn-like properties.

- BV(RI)c light curves of V2421 Cyg

- Description:
- We present the first precision BVRI light curves, synthetic light curve solutions, and a period study for the high amplitude solar type binary, V2421 Cygni. The light curves have the appearance of an Algol (EA) type; however, it is made up of dwarf solar type components in a detached mode with a period of only 0.6331 days with an amplitude of about a full magnitude, i.e., it is a precontact W UMa binary. Flare-like disruptions occur in the light curves following the primary and secondary eclipses possibly due to the line-of-sight track of a gas stream. An associated stream spot and splash spot cause bright equatorial spots on the stellar surface of the primary star. The more massive star is the gainer, making this system a classic, albeit dwarf, Algol.

- Description:
- The long baseline simultaneous multiband (BVRI) observations of blazar 3C 273 are presented. We have made 758 optical multiband observations with the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YAO) 103cm and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) 156cm from 2003 January to 2005 April. In our observational campaign, the average colour indices are B-V=0.21, V-R= 0.26 and R-I=0.31 . The mean magnitudes in B, V, R and I are 12.895, 12.698, 12.441 and 12.139, respectively. The source is in a steady state over observational campaign. The correlations between colour index and brightness are discussed. We find that the correlations of B-V versus B, V-R versus V and R-I versus R have significant negative correlation, while B-V versus V, V-R versus R and R-I versus I have positive correlation. These strong correlations imply that the spectrum becomes bluer (flatter) when the source becomes brighter, and redden (softer) when the source fades both in intraday and long-term variability. The spectral evolution trends of 3C 273 are consistent with those of BL Lac objects.

- BV(RI)_C_photometry of 77 Hyades stars

- Description:
- New BV(RI)C observations of 77 stars in the Hyades are reported and discussed. The new observations are used to test published magnitudes and color indices for that cluster. For values of (V-R)C and (R-I)C published previously by Taylor & Joner (1985AJ.....90..479T and 2005, Cat. <J/ApJS/159/100>), the tests reveal no detectable scale-factor problems. In addition, the tests show that possible zero-point corrections to the published data can be no larger than a few millimagnitudes. These test results indicate that future studies requiring precision photometry for Hyades stars would be well served by selecting data samples from sources as close as possible to the native Cousins system. Tests of B-V photometry published by Johnson & Knuckles (1955ApJ...122..209J) reveal a zero-point ambiguity of approximately 8mmag in the new data that will require further measurements to resolve.

- Description:
- We present the most continuous data base of optical multiband data ever published on the BL Lacertae object ON 231 (W Com). The data have been collected during an intensive and coordinated BV(RI)c monitoring campaign carried out in the period from March 1994 to March 1997. During our campaign, the source brightness was at the highest level ever observed. The light curve shows a complex structure, characterized by the presence of three major outbursts having the observed maxima in March 1995, February 1996, and January 1997, when ON 231 reached its historical maximum (B~=14.2). Variability on time scales from a few hours up to a month have frequently been observed and the light curve seems to be the superposition of many flares with different amplitudes and time scales. The broad-band optical spectral energy distribution is characterized by a spectral slope which correlates with the flux level. In particular, the higher is the flux the flatter is the spectrum.
