The Case for Third Bodies as the Cause of Period Changes in Selected Algol Systems
Many eclipsing binary star systems show long-term variations in theirorbital periods, evident in their O-C (observed minus calculated period)diagrams. With data from the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment(ROTSE-I) compiled in the SkyDOT database, New Mexico State University 1m data, and recent American Association of Variable Star Observers(AAVSO) data, we revisit Borkovits and Hegedüs's best-casecandidates for third-body effects in eclipsing binaries: AB And, TV Cas,XX Cep, and AK Her. We also examine the possibility of a third bodyorbiting Y Cam. Our new data support their suggestion that a third bodyis present in all systems except AK Her, as is revealed by thesinusoidal variations of the O-C residuals. Our new data suggest that athird body alone cannot explain the variations seen in the O-C residualsof AK Her. We also provide a table of 143 eclipsing binary systems thathave historical AAVSO O-C data with new values computed from the SkyDOTdatabase.

Catalogue of Algol type binary stars
A catalogue of (411) Algol-type (semi-detached) binary stars ispresented in the form of five separate tables of information. Thecatalogue has developed from an earlier version by including more recentinformation and an improved layout. A sixth table lists (1872) candidateAlgols, about which fewer details are known at present. Some issuesrelating to the classification and interpretation of Algol-like binariesare also discussed.Catalogue is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymousftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/417/263

uvbyβ Photometry of Selected Eclipsing Binary Stars
New uvbyβ observations of 51 eclipsing binary stars are presented,and outside-eclipse averages for 45 of them are given. Many of thesebinaries are detached main-sequence pairs that have been discovered tobe double-lined spectroscopic binaries and appear suitable fordeterminations of accurate absolute dimensions and masses. Photometricproperties are recomputed for 14 of the binaries, for which absoluteproperties have been published previously. Intercomparisons are madewith previous photometry, when available, and notes are given for someindividual systems.

Vitesses radiales photoélectriques de binaires àéclipses. VI. Orbites spectroscopiques et éléments physiques de 12 étoiles doubles Photoelectric radial velocities of eclipsing binaries VI. Orbital and physical elements of 12 double stars
Spectroscopic orbits of the 12 eclipsing binary systems, TW And, CD And,RS Ari, RU Cnc, TW Cnc, UU Cnc, V788 Cyg, AW Her, MM Her, RV Lib, EW Oriand ZZ UMa are obtained from Coravel and Elodie radial velocitymeasurements. We obtain a first orbit for CD And, RS Ari, TW Cnc, andV788 Cyg. For the systems TW And, RU Cnc, UU Cnc, AW Her, MM Her, RVLib, EW Ori and ZZ UMa, the new spectroscopic orbits are either betteror of quality comparable to that previously published. The physicalproperties of these systems were estimated with the photometricparameters from available data except CD And, TW Cnc, UU Cnc, V788 Cygand RV Lib for which we found a model compatible with the observations.The systems RU Cnc, AW Her, MM Her and RV Lib belong to RS CVn group. Ingeneral these systems were difficult to observe with Coravel, on the onehand because the stars are relatively weak and on the other hand becauseof nature of the components giving peaks of correlation with weakcontrast. La plupart des observations ont étéeffectuées àl'Observatoire de Haute-Provence (CNRS).Based, in part, on observations collected at the European SouthernObservatory, la Silla, Chile.

Stars with the Largest Hipparcos Photometric Amplitudes
A list of the 2027 stars that have the largest photometric amplitudes inHipparcos Photometry shows that most variable stars are all Miras. Thepercentage of variable types change as a function of amplitude. Thiscompilation should also be of value to photometrists looking forrelatively unstudied, but large amplitude stars.

Absolute parameters for binary systems. II. The late-type system ZZ Ursae Majoris
New light curves of the late-type binary system ZZ UMa were obtainedduring a uvby and H beta monitoring program on low mass eclipsingbinaries, that has been carried out in a six year photometricobservational program \cite[(Clement et al. 1997a]{cle97a}, Paper I).The main goal of the program is to obtain accurate absolute parametersfor stars in the low and intermediate mass range, in order to improvethe Mass-Luminosity Relationship (MLR) at the end of the main sequence.This paper presents a complete analysis of the first uvby beta lightcurves of the late-type detached eclipsing binary ZZ UMa. This binarysystem has been observed during eight campaigns at the Calar AltoObservatory (Almeria, Spain). The activity wave superposed on theeclipse light curve has been estimated, by using a new iterative fittingmethod \cite[(Clement et al. 1997b]{cle97b}, Paper II). Theinterpretation of the wave suggests the existence of two active zones ofsimilar intensity, separated by areas at higher temperature. Once theactivity wave was subtracted from the light curves, we adjusted thegeometrical solution using the EBOP code. Radiative parameters for bothstars have been derived from the light curves. Combining the massesdeduced from the radial velocity curves \cite[(Popper 1995)]{pop95},with the calculated geometrical and radiative values, we computed theabsolute parameters for both components. We can conclude that the systemis composed of two main sequence G-type stars with masses, radii andchemical composition similar to the Sun.

Four colour photometry of late-type binary systems. I. First UVBY beta light curves of ZZ Ursae Majoris
This paper presents first complete uvby light curves of the late-typedetached eclipsing binary ZZ UMa (G0V + G8V, P=2.2993 deg). This binarysystem has been observed during eight campaigns at the Calar AltoObservatory (Almeria, Spain)and at the Sierra Nevada Observatory(Granada, Spain). 294 points distributed over the binary period andcovering both eclipses are given. The comparison stars used to calculatethe differential light curves (SAO 15242 and SAO 15251) were confirmedas being good reference stars with constant flux. These observations arepart of a 6 year uvby and Hβ monitoring program of low masseclipsing binaries whose main objective is to provide accurate absoluteastrophysical parameters for late-type main sequence stars. Detailsabout the standardisation process and accuracy of the photometry arealso given. The internal accuracy of the standard photometry measured asthe mean RMS of the differences between standard and observed values forthe standard stars observed along the program is only a fewmillimagnitudes. Detailed analysis of ZZ UMa, based on these lightcurves, will be published separately. Based on observations collectedwith the Spanish 1.5m telescope at Calar Alto, Almeria, Spain, and theSpanish 1m telescope at Sierra Nevada, Granada, Spain. Tables 2 and 3will be accessible only in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftpto cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr//Abstract.html

The period distribution of unevolved close binary systems
Period distributions have been examined for various spectral types ofabout 600 (eclipsing and spectroscopic) close binaries, which are likelyto be substantially unevolved. The comparison with the previouscorresponding analyses of extensive (but heterogeneous) binary samplesallows a clarification of the extent of the evolutionary andobservational selection effects. Remarkably, this analysis reveals agreat deficiency of short period binaries (with periods corresponding tocase A mass transfer) in the whole spectral range. For the late spectraltypes, this result may be connected with postformation angular momentumloss caused by stellar wind magnetic braking; at least for the late Band A spectral range, a ready interpretation of this finding is thatclose binaries of corresponding periods and spectral types are rarelyformed.

Statistics of categorized eclipsing binary systems Lightcurve shapes, periods, and spectral types
The statistics of the light curve morphologies, eclipse depths, orbitalperiods, and spectral types of about 1000 eclipsing binary systems areexamined, after attempting to subdivide these binaries into variousbasic evolutionary categories. The applicability of statisticalcriteria, based on light curve morphologies and eclipse depths, for thecategorization of eclipsing binaries has been found more limited thanpreviously believed. In particular, EW-type light curves turn out to begood indicators of contact systems (though not conversely), while EA-and EB-type light curves have little physical significance. Moreover,the study reveals a strong deficit of short-period noncontact systems inthe whole spectral range, together with an underabundance of early-typecontact binaries (compared with the number of late-type contact pairs).Interestingly, the distribution of evolved Algol-type systems isshifted, on average, to periods longer than those of unevolved detachedsystems in the OB and early A spectral range (and to shorter periods inthe F spectral range).
