CK Aqr time keeping. Evidence for a ternary [Observed: 2005-20]
Photometric measurements of the contact binary system CK Aqr are
presented. 49 times of minimum were obtained between 2005 and 2020. Along
with already published observations, this allows the derivation of an
improved ephemeris. The resulting O-C diagram shows oscillations which
are interpreted as the light time travel effect due to a third component,
with a period of 8.2 years.
VZ Lib: a contact binary in a ternary system [Observed: 2014 (1 session, 1 ToM), 2016 (1 session, 1 ToM), 2018 (1]
New photometric observations are presented for this contact binary
in a ternary system. A total of 113 times of minimum are analyzed and
are found to be in agreement with the ephemeris of Liao et al (2019).
VY Cet: a contact binary in a ternary system [Observed: 26 Dec 2006, 3 Nov 2007, 30 Jan 2009, 31 Oct 2014]
Time series of this contact binary in a ternary system are presented.
3 ToMs are measured along with the B-V and V-Rc colors.
VZ Lib: a contact binary in a ternary system [Observed: 2007-2009, 14 sessions]
Time series of this eclipsing contact binary are reported and
times of minima (ToM) of the eclipses are measured. This system has a
third component. From the O-C analysis of the observed ToM and of those in
the literature, the orbital parameters of the third body can be
derived: the orbital period is 34.8 yr and the inclination is 11.5 °.
