Context.Close binary systems provide an excellent tool for determining stellar parameters such as radii and masses with a high degree of precision. Due to the high rotational velocities, most of these systems exhibit strong signs of magnetic activity, postulated to be the underlying reason for radius inflation in many of the components. Aims.We extend the sample of low-mass binary systems with well-known X-ray properties. Methods.We analyze data from a singular XMM-Newton pointing of the close, low-mass eclipsing binary system BX Tri. The UV light curve was modeled with the eclipsing binary modeling tool PHOEBE and data acquired with the EPIC cameras was analyzed to search for hints of orbital modulation. Results.We find clear evidence of orbital modulation in the UV light curve and show that PHOEBE is fully capable of modeling data within this wavelength range. Comparison to a theoretical flux prediction based on PHOENIX models shows that the majority of UV emission is of photospheric origin. While the X-ray light curve does exhibit strong variations, the signal-to-noise ratio of the observation is insufficient for a clear detection of signs of orbital modulation. There is evidence of a Neupert-like correlation between UV and X-ray data.

AbstractNew observations of the eclipsing binary system V1848 Ori were carried out using the V filter resulting in a determination of new times of minima and new ephemeris were obtained. We presented the first complete analysis of the system’s orbital period behavior and analysis of O-C diagram done by the GA and MCMC approaches in OCFit code. The O-C diagram demonstrates a sinusoidal trend in the data; this trend suggests a cyclic change caused by the LITE effect with a period of 10.57 years and an amplitude of 7.182 minutes. It appears that there is a third body with mass function of f (m3) = 0.0058 M⊙ in this binary system. The light curves were analyzed using the Wilson-Devinney code to determine some geometrical and physical parameters of the system. These results show that V1848 Ori is a contact W UMa binary system with the mass ratio of q = 0.76 and a weak fillout factor of 5.8%. The O’Connell effect was not seen in the light curve and there is no need to add spot.

Superluminous supernovae radiate up to 100 times more energy than normal supernovae. The origin of this energy and the nature of the stellar progenitors of these transients are poorly understood. We identify neutral iron lines in the spectrum of one such supernova, SN 2006gy, and show that they require a large mass of iron (≳0.3 solar masses) expanding at 1500 kilometers per second. By modeling a standard type Ia supernova hitting a shell of circumstellar material, we produce a light curve and late-time iron-dominated spectrum that match the observations of SN 2006gy. In such a scenario, common envelope evolution of a progenitor binary system can synchronize envelope ejection and supernova explosion and may explain these bright transients.

ABSTRACT PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system hosting a radio pulsar orbiting around an O9.5Ve star, LS 2883, with a period of ∼3.4 yr. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the LS 2883 outflow leads to unpulsed broad-band emission in the radio, X-rays, GeV, and TeV domains. While the radio, X-ray, and TeV light curves show rather similar behaviour, the GeV light curve appears very different with a huge outburst about a month after a periastron. The energy release during this outburst seems to significantly exceed the spin-down luminosity of the pulsar and both the GeV light curve and the energy release vary from one orbit to the next. In this paper, we present for the first time the results of optical observations of the system in 2017, and also reanalyse the available X-ray and GeV data. We present a new model in which the GeV data are explained as a combination of the bremsstrahlung and inverse Compton emission from the unshocked and weakly shocked electrons of the pulsar wind. The X-ray and TeV emission is produced by synchrotron and inverse Compton emission of energetic electrons accelerated on a strong shock arising due to stellar/pulsar winds collision. The brightness of the GeV flare is explained in our model as a beaming effect of the energy released in a cone oriented, during the time of the flare, in the direction of the observer.

The star HD 93206 (=QZ Carinae) is a double-lined (Conti et al. 1977), eclipsing (Moffat and Seggewiss 1972) binary with a period of 6 d. Walborn (1973) classified it 09.7Ib:(n). Since the star is probably a member of the cluster Collander 228 (which is near η Carinae), its distance can be assumed to be 2600 pc. In principle, one can determine the masses of the components of HD 93206 from observations of the radial velocities and the light curve, and a spectroscopic orbit is the object of this investigation. A mass determination for an evolved star such as this one is especially important for checking recently computed evolutionary tracks with mass loss for massive stars (de Loore et al. 1977, Chiosi et al. 1978, Dearborn et al. 1978).

Analysis of the optical and infrared photometry together with UV spectroscopy led to discovery of the 15-years periodicity in the symbiotic system V1016 Cyg. This period could be interpreted as a orbital period in the binary system consisting of the Mira variable and the hot white dwarf.We have analyzed long-term optical photographic and UBV photoelectric photometry of V1016 Cyg. Collected observations cover pre- and post-outburst stages of the system. The light, curve suggests four stages of activity: the pre-out burst flare in 1949, the main nova-like outburst in 1904, and two post-outbursts, decreasing-amplitude flares in 1980 and 1994, respectively. Activity episodes affecting the system repeat with an interval of ~ 15 years. The ephemeris for the activity maxima is (see Parimucha et al., 2000).

AbstractWe present frequency analysis of the Kepler light curve of KIC 10486425, an eclipsing binary system with a pulsating component. The parameters of the binary were obtained by modelling the light curve with the Wilson-Devinney program. The residuals from this modelling were subject to Fourier analysis which allowed us to detect 120 periodic terms characteristic for γ Dor-type pulsations. The dominant frequency of these changes amounts to 1.3189 d−1.

YY Eri, the short-period binary system, is a W UMa type of the eclipsing binary system. This study using a 0.7-meter telescope with CCD photometric system in B V and R filters. It was observed at the Regional Observatory for the Public, Chachoengsao, Thailand on December 5, 2018, UT. The MaxIm DL software was used to analyzed the images photometry to produce the light curve. The Wilson-Devinney technique was computed the synthetic light curve that prefer to the physical properties of the YY Eri. The results show that the effective temperature of the primary and secondary star was 5533 and 5598 K, respectively. The inclination is 81.450 and the mass ratio is 0.55. The degree of contact was calculated as 16.64%

Abstract V781 Tau is one of W UMa eclipsing binary systems whose orbital period is 0.34 days. The 0.7-meter telescope with CCD photometric system in B and V filters was conducted at the Regional Observatory for the Public, Chachoengsao, Thailand during December 2018, UT. The Wilson-Devinney Technique was used for calculating the physical properties of V781 Tau. The results showed the inclination of their orbital is 66.140°±0.14. The effective temperature of the primary and secondary star is 6,060 and 5,881 K, respectively and the degree of contact is 4.38 %
