We present the first orbital elements for the massive close binary, HD 115071, a double-lined spectroscopic binary in a circular orbit with a period of 2.73135 +/- 0.00003 days. The orbital semiamplitudes indicate a mass ratio of M_2/M_1 =…
Using Liverpool Telescope+RISE photometry we identify the 2.78 hour period binary star CSS 41177 as a detached eclipsing double white dwarf binary with a 21,100K primary star and a 10,500K secondary star. This makes CSS 41177 only the…
HD 141569, a triple star system, has been intensively observed and studied for its massive debris disk. It was rather regarded as a gravitationally bound triple system but recent measurements of the HD 141569A radial velocity seem to…
Of the 14 transiting planets that have been detected orbiting eclipsing binaries ('circumbinary planets'), none have been detected with stellar binary orbital periods shorter than 7 days, despite such binaries existing in abundance. The…
We present absolute physical and orbital parameters for three double-lined detached eclipsing binary systems from the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) catalogue with subgiant and giant components. These parameters were derived from archival…
We report the discovery of a unique object of uncertain nature -- but quite possibly a disintegrating asteroid or minor planet -- orbiting one star of the widely separated binary TIC 400799224. We initially identified the system in data…
KIC 5359678 is a 6.231-d period F-type eclipsing binary system whose component stars both show starspot activity. It was observed by the Kepler satellite in long cadence for the full four-year duration of the mission. Wang et al (2021)…
Eclipsing binary systems form the fundamental basis of Astronomy in the sense that they are the primary means to determine fundamental stellar astrophysical quantities such as mass, radius, and temperature. Furthermore, they allow us to…
We have determined spectroscopic orbits for five single-lined spectroscopic binaries, HD 100167, HD 135991, HD 140667, HD 158222, HD 217924. Their periods range from 60.6 to 2403 days and the eccentricities, from 0.20 to 0.84. Our spectral…
We re-analyze the pristine eclipsing binary data from the $\textit{Kepler}$ and TESS missions, focusing on eccentricity measurements at short orbital periods to emperically constrain tidal circularization. We find an average circularization…
Main aim of this paper is the first light curve and apsidal motion analysis of thirteen eccentric eclipsing binaries and to reveal their basic physical properties. All of the systems were studied by method of period analysis of times of…
We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the Kepler spacecraft reveal transits of the planet across both stars, in addition to the mutual eclipses of the stars, giving precise constraints…
We present spectroscopic and photometric solutions for three spotted systems with red giant components. Absolute physical and orbital parameters for these double-lined detached eclipsing binary stars are presented for the first time. These…
Three eclipsing binary systems with astrometric orbit have been studied. For a detailed analysis two circular-orbit binaries (VW Cep and HT Vir) and one binary with an eccentric orbit (zeta Phe) have been chosen. Merging together astrometry…
We present 31 bright eclipsing contact and semi-detached binaries that showed high period change rates in a 5 year interval in observations by the All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS). The time-scales of these changes range from only 50 up to…
A large observation programme was carried out to measure the radial velocities of the components of a selection of common proper motion (CPM) stars, in order to select the physical binaries. Eighty wide binaries (WBs) were detected, and 39…
The binary status of gamma-Cas stars has been discussed while theoretically examining the origin of their peculiar X-ray emission. However, except in two cases, no systematic radial velocity monitoring of these stars had been undertaken yet…
KIC 3230227 is a short period ($P\approx 7.0$ days) eclipsing binary with a very eccentric orbit ($e=0.6$). From combined analysis of radial velocities and {\it Kepler} light curves, this system is found to be composed of two A-type stars,…
KIC 6131659 is a long-period (17.5 days) eclipsing binary discovered by the Kepler mission. We analyzed six quarters of Kepler data along with supporting ground-based photometric and spectroscopic data to obtain accurate values for the mass…
