The Eclipsing Binary CM Dra: Solar-type Activity and Physical Parameters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2005
Abstract
The results of photometric investigations of the eclipsing binary CM Dra are presented. The observations of CM Dra were taken with the 70-cm telescope and two-star photometer of the Ural State University Astronomical Observatory in 1996–1997 (the total duration was 155 hours). The solution of the composite lightcurve yielded some fundamental physical parameters of CM Dra components. Four flares were observed, the calculated flare rate was 0.026. The Flares power was about handred times larger than solar ones. The CM Dra composite lightcurve shows the outside-eclipse low-amplitude (0.024mag) brightness variations which appeared to be shifted by 120 degrees in phase over a 20-years period. It may be explained supposing an appearance of the star spots on another longitude.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
