Photometric and spectroscopic analysis of YY CrB
The eclipsing binary YY Coronae Borealis is a short-period contactsystem of the W UMa type (sub-type A) and one of the systems with agreat potential for providing a combined photometric and spectroscopicsolution. Using WD and FOTEL codes we reanalyzed the system, and applieda spotted model to treat the asymmetry of the light curve. The resultsshow that the more massive component is cooler than the less massivewith ΔT˜100K. The system is an overcontact one with fill-outfactor approximately equal to 64% and distance to the system 88±7pc.
| DN Bootis: A low mass-ratio W UMa-type contact binary
New photoelectric BVR light curves and radial velocity curves wereobtained for the HIPPARCOS discovery DN Boo at theTÜBİTAKTÜBİTAK: The Scientific and TechnicalResearch Council of Turkey.1 National Observatory of Turkey(TUG) and Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO), respectively, todetermine physical nature of the variable. The character of the obtainedlight curves and double-lined spectroscopic structures in the obtainedspectra are revealed that DN Boo is a genuine EW type eclipsing binary.During the analysis of our new observations a simultaneous solution werederived for the photometric and spectroscopic data by using the WilsonDevinney code and orbital parameters with absolute dimensions of thesystem were determined for the first time. Finally, the importance ofvery low mass-ratio contact binaries in the late stages of close binaryevolution was discussed.
| A catalogue of eclipsing variables
A new catalogue of 6330 eclipsing variable stars is presented. Thecatalogue was developed from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars(GCVS) and its textual remarks by including recently publishedinformation about classification of 843 systems and making correspondingcorrections of GCVS data. The catalogue1 represents thelargest list of eclipsing binaries classified from observations.
| The 74th Special Name-list of Variable Stars
We present the Name-list introducing GCVS names for 3153 variable starsdiscovered by the Hipparcos mission.
