O- and B-type stars are often found in binary systems, but the low binary mass-ratio regime is relatively unexplored due to observational difficulties. Binary systems with low mass-ratios may have formed through fragmentation of the…

The multi-color photometric and spectroscopic (based on observations obtained with the T{\"U}B{\.I}TAK National Observatory 1.5-meter telescope, which is owned and operated by the T{\"U}B{\.I}TAK) observations of the newly discovered…

Photometric observations of the W UMa binary NSVS 2569022 are presented. The light curve solution reveals that both components are of F spectral type (temperatures $T_1$=$T_2$=6100 K). NSVS 254037 undergoes total eclipse of W subtype and…

We present new photometric observations of RV Tri. A complete light curve was obtained in the R and V filters. These light curves were processed by the Wilson-Devinney (WD) code and the FOTEL to get solution of this eclipsing binary system.…

New CCD photometric observations and their investigation of the W UMa-type binary, V870 Ara, are presented. Light curves of the system were taken through BVI filters from the Congarinni Observatory in Australia. The new ephemeris is…

New CCD photometric observations of fourteen short-period low-mass eclipsing binaries (LMB) in the photometric filters I, R and V were used for the light curve analysis. There still exists a discrepancy between radii as observed and those…

The lower limit of the mass ratio in contact binaries remains uncertain, with observations suggesting systems exist below theoretical predictions. The stability of such very low mass ratio systems is still debated. Based on our review of…

When observing the blazars, we identified a new eclipsing binary GSC 03517-00663. The light curves of GSC 03517-00663 are typical EW-type light curves. Based on the observation using the 1m telescope at Weihai Observatory of Shandong…

We present our new photometric and spectroscopic observations of NSVS 02500276, NSVS 07453183, NSVS 11868841, NSVS 06550671 and NSVS 10653195. The first flare-like event was detected on NSVS07453183. Using the Wilson-Devinney program, the…

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…

We present the physical parameters of three short period close binaries using the observed data from Kepler Space Telescope. All of these observations were taken in a single bandpass (which approximates the Johnson V-band). Our three…

Most massive stars are believed to be born in close binary systems where they can exchange mass, which impacts the evolution of both binary components. Their evolution is of great interest in the search for the progenitors of gravitational…
