Photometric observations in Sloan g' and i' bands of four W UMa binaries, V796 Cep, V797 Cep, CSS J015341.9+381641 and NSVS 3853195, are presented. Our observations showed that CSS J015404.1+382805 and NSVS 3853195 are the same star. We…
New BVRI light curves of the eclipsing binary system 1SWASP J160156.04+202821.6 have been obtained with the 1.88-m telescope of Kottamia Astronomical Observatory (KAO), Egypt on June, 2013. New twenty times of minima of the system J1601 and…
Photometric observations in Sloan g' and i' bands of four W UMa stars, NSVS 2244206, NSVS 908513, CSS J004004.7+385531, VSX J062624.4+570907, are presented. The light curve solutions reveal that all targets have overcontact configurations…
We present photometric analysis of three bright red nova progenitor contact binary systems: ASAS J082151-0612.6, TYC 7281-269-1 and TYC 7275-1968-1. The primary components in all three systems are solar-type low mass stars with radii…
We present photometric analysis of the two W UMa type binaries identified in the field of distant open star cluster NGC6866. Although these systems, namely ID487 and ID494, were reported in the Joshi et al. (2012), but a detailed study of…
We analyze multicolor light curves of six totally eclipsing, short-period W UMa binaries and derive, for the first time, their orbital and stellar parameters. The mass ratios are established robustly through an automated q-search procedure…
The CCD photometric data of the EW-type binary, II CMa, which is a contact star in the field of the middle-aged open cluster Berkeley 33, are presented. The complete R light curve was obtained. In the present paper, using the five CCD…
We present a system model for optical and far UV spectra of the nova-like variable UX UMa involving a white dwarf, secondary star, gas stream, hot spot and accretion disk using our code BINSYN and based on an initially adopted system…
Use of the highly sensitive Hokupa'a/Gemini curvature wavefront sensor has allowed for the first time direct adaptive optics (AO) guiding on M8-M9 very low mass (VLM) stars. An initial survey of 20 such objects (SpT=M8-M9) discovered 4…
The new discovered short-period close binary star, XY LMi, was monitored photometrically since 2006. It is shown that the light curves are typical EW-type and show complete eclipses with an eclipse duration of about 80 minutes. By analyzing…
We present the results of time-resolved spectroscopy of 13 O-type stars in the Cas OB6 stellar association. We conducted a survey for radial velocity variability in search of binary systems, which are expected to be plentiful in young OB…
222 hot subdwarf stars were identified with LAMOST DR8 spectra, among which 131 stars show composite spectra and have been decomposed, while 91 stars present single-lined spectra. Atmospheric parameters of all sample stars were obtained by…
The first photometric analysis of V811 Cep was carried out. The first complete light curves of V, R and I bands are given. The analysis was carried out by Wilson-Devinney (W-D) program, and the results show that V811 Cep is a median-contact…
Starting from more than 11,200 short-period (less than 0.5 days) EW-type eclipsing binary candidates with the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) V-band light curves, we use MCMC and neural networks (NNs) to obtain the mass…
This paper presents new CCD BVRI light curves of the newly discovered RS CVn eclipsing binary V1034 Her in 2009 and 2010, which shapes are different from the previous published results. They show asymmetric outside eclipse and we try to use…
Binary stars are believed to be key determinants in understanding globular cluster evolution. In this paper, we present the Multi-band photometric analyses of five variables in the nearest galactic globular cluster M4, from the observations…
We describe an ongoing variable star search program and present the first reduced results of a search in a 19 square degree (4.4\circle x 4.4\circle) field centered on J2000 {\alpha} = 22:03:24, {\delta} = +18:54:32. The search was carried…
II UMa is a late F-type (F5) contact binary with a close-in tertiary and a distant visual companion. According to the four-color ($B$ $V$ $R_c$ $I_c$) light curves' solutions of II UMa, it is a high fill-out (f=$86.6\,\%$) and low mass…
