Current Observational Development in Early-Type Contact Binary Systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
This is a summary of current observational results of early-type contact binary systems. The classical approaches to derive a photometric solution of a very close binary are found to be incapable of distinguishing whether a system is detached, semidetached, or in contact. A survey of contact systems based on the more modern approach of Wilson and Devinney (1971) and others are summarized in the following. Contact systems with spectral type 0 are: V382 Cyg (Devinney 1976 private communication, Bloomer et al. 1979), V729 Cyg (Leung and Schneider 1978c), UW CMa (Leung and Schneider 1978b), AO Cas (Schneider and Leung 1978); with spectral type B are: SV Cen (Wilson and Starr 1976, Rucinski 1976), V701 Sco (Wilson and Leung 1977, Anderson et al. 1979), BH Cen (Leung and Schneider 1977), RZ Pyx (Devinney 1976 private communication); with spectral type A are: AU Pup (Leung and Schneider 1978a), V1073 Cyg (Leung and Schneider 1978a), V535 Ara (Leung and Schneider 1978a), BV 845 (Leung and Darland 1978), V1010 Oph (Leung and Wilson 1977).
