We report the discovery of the partially eclipsing binary LP 133-373. Nearly identical eclipses along with observed photometric colors and spectroscopy indicate that it is a pair of chromospherically active dM4 stars in a circular 1.6 d…
This paper analyzes the first secured four color light curves of V396 Mon using the 2003 version of the WD code. It is confirmed that V396 Mon is a shallow W-type contact binary system with a mass ratio $q=2.554(\pm0.004)$ and a degree of…
Recently, the black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) Nova Muscae 1991 has been reported to be experiencing an extremely rapid orbital decay. So far, three BHXBs have anomalously high orbital period derivatives, which can not be interpreted by the…
Recent exo-planetary surveys reveal that planets can orbit and survive around binary stars. This suggests that some fraction of young binary systems which possess massive circumbinary disks (CB) may be in the midst of planet formation.…
Abstract We investigate a short-period W UMa binary KIC 9026766 with an orbital period of 0.2721278 days in the Kepler field of view. By using an automated q-search for the folded light curve and producing a synthetic light curve for this…
The early-type massive binary MQ Cen (P$_{orb}$=3.7 d) has been investigated by means of high-resolution ($R\sim48\,000$) spectral analysis and multi-band (Johnson $BVRI$ and Str\"{o}mgren $vby$) light curve modeling. The physical…
VW~LMi is the tightest known quadruple system with 2+2 hierarchy. It consists of a W UMa-type eclipsing binary (P12 = 0.47755 days) and another detached non-eclipsing binary (P34 = 7.93 days) orbiting around a common center of mass is about…
We present the orbital period variations of 14,127 contact eclipsing binaries (CEBs) based on the OGLE-III\&IV observations in the Galactic bulge. New times of minimum lights for the CEBs were derived by binary modeling for the full…
We report 90 new observations of three post common envelope binaries at primary eclipse spanning between December 2018 to February 2022. We combine recent primary eclipse timing observations with previously published values to search for…
Binaries with a white dwarf primary and a main sequence secondary can be used to test our understanding of both single and binary star evolution. A small fraction of such systems experienced a common-envelope phase from which they emerged…
Using high-precision photometric data from TESS, medium resolution spectroscopic data from LAMOST, and long-term eclipse timings, we provide orbital parameters for two early-type detached eclipsing binary systems: TYC 3740-2072-1 and TYC…
We report our investigation of 1SWASP J234401.81-212229.1, a variable with a 18461.6 s period. After identification in a 2011 search of the SuperWASP archive for main-sequence eclipsing binary candidates near the distribution's short-period…
Compact binary systems coalesce over time due to the radiation of gravitational waves, following the field equations of general relativity. Conservation of energy and angular momentum gives a mathematical description for the evolution of…
Circumbinary planets and brown dwarfs form in complex gravitational environments, offering insights into formation, orbital stability, and habitability prospects. However, they remain underrepresented, with only 60 confirmed or candidate…
Tightest known quadruple systems VW LMi consists of contact eclipsing binary with P_12 = 0.477551 days and detached binary with P_34 = 7.93063 days revolving in rather tight, 355.0-days orbit. This paper presents new photometric and…
We investigate the implications of a massive binary system in the centre of the gamma-ray blazar Mkn~501 and show that the periodical behaviour recently observed in the TeV and X-ray lightcurves may possibly be related to the orbital motion…
We present a comprehensive study of the massive binary system HM1~8, based on multi-epoch high resolution spectroscopy, $V$-band photometry and archival X-ray data. Spectra from the OWN Survey, a high resolution optical monitoring of…
Context. The nearby multiple system delta Velorum contains a widely detached eclipsing binary and a third component. Aims. We take advantage of this system offering the opportunity to determine the set of fundamental parameters (masses,…
Multiband CCD photometric observations of SZ Her were obtained between 2008 February and May. The light curve was completely covered and indicated a significant temperature difference between both components. The light-curve synthesis…
The existence of an additional body around a binary system can be detected by the help of the light-travel time effect. Due to the motions of binary and the companion stars around the common mass center of the ternary system, the light-time…
