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…

As part of an All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) search for sources with large flux decrements, we discovered a transient where the quiescent, stellar source, ASASSN-V J192114.84+624950.8, rapidly decreased in flux by…

A photometric study of the Near Contact Binary (NCB) system V609 Aql reveals it to be the westernmost star of a close double, with brightness variations and implied parameters more extreme than those derived in an earlier photographic…

Determinations of stellar mass and radius with realistic uncertainties at the level of 1% provide important constraints on models of stellar structure and evolution. We present a high-precision light curve of the A0IV star Psi Centauri,…

We report the results of the first long-term (1990-2014) optical spectro-photometric monitoring of a binary black hole candidate QSO E1821+643, a low-redshift high-luminosity radio-quiet quasar. In the monitored period the continua and…

The mass ratio $q$ of a contact binary star evolves due to mass transfer, magnetic braking, and thermal relaxation oscillations to small values until it crosses a critical threshold $q_\text{min}$. When that happens, the binary undergoes…

AN Cam is a little-studied eclipsing binary containing somewhat evolved components in an orbit with a period of 21.0 d and an eccentricity of 0.47. A spectroscopic orbit based on photoelectric radial velocities was published in 1977. AN Cam…

The close binary V337 Aql consists of two early B-type components with an orbital period of 2.7339 d. New multi-band photometric observations of the system together with published radial velocities enabled us to derive the absolute…
