Analysis of a photoelectric light curve of the W UMa - type binary ST Ind
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modelling of Walter and Duerbeck’s photoelectric observations of ST Ind is performed. The Wilson-Devinney model along with a Monte Carlo method as the search procedure, was used to derive the physical parameters of this contact system. One dark spot on the surface of the primary component was introduced to explain the observed difference in the heights of the maxima.

GENETIC-ALGORITHM-BASED LIGHT CURVE OPTIMIZATION APPLIED TO OBSERVATIONS OF THE W UMa STAR BH CAS
I have developed a procedure utilizing a Genetic-Algorithm-based optimization scheme to fit the observed light curves of an eclipsing binary star with a model produced by the Wilson-Devinney code. The principal advantages of this approach are the global search capability and the objectivity of the final result. Although this method can be more efficient than some other comparably global search ...
متن کاملASCA OBSERVATION OF A LONG-DURATION X-RAY FLARE FROM THE W UMa-TYPE BINARY VW CEPHEI
We analyze X-ray archive data of the W UMa-type binary VW Cep taken with ASCA on 1993 November 5 { 6. By analyzing the light curve, we nd a long-duration are of 7:5 hrs with the peak luminosity of 1:2 10 30 ergs s ?1 (0.4{3.0 keV) for the assumed distance of 23.2 pc. A ux dip is detected in the light curve at the orbital phase of 0:5, and it is identiied as an eclipse by the secondary star. We ...
متن کاملAn observational approach for the determination of gravity darkening in contact binaries of W UMa type
A new method for the determination of the gravity darkening exponents in close binaries of W UMa type is presented. The method is based on Kopal’s method of Fourier analysis of the light changes of eclipsing variables in the Frequency Domain. In the analysis, the exponents for both components of a W UMa system are assumed to be the same. First, the method was successfully applied to two theoret...
متن کاملPeriod change and δ Scuti pulsations of eclipsing binary star RZ Cassiopiae
RZ Cas is an Algol-type partial eclipsing binary, the secondary component of which has filled its Roche lobe. Its visual magnitude is 6.18 and its period is 1.195 days. The most important characteristics of RZ Cas are period change (due to mass transfer) and anomalies in the primary minimum of its light curve (due to δ Scuti pulsations). In this paper, light curves of RZ Cas are obtained using ...

In this paper we have analyzed the photometric data of LS DEL eclipsing binary system, which was W UMa one, in UBV filters. To solve light curves we use Wilson program 2003. We have found the darkening coefficients of the side by using Klinglesmith and Sobieski (1970) Algorithm in Van Hamme program. The results show that the system was a contacted one, and both primary and secondary components ...
