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 °.
UX Mon: time keeping and modelling of a binary [Observed: 13 Dec 2007, 11-16, 18 Feb, 8, 13, 14 March, 1, 4, 25, 29]
Time series of this eclipsing binary system with extra variability
are presented. The O-C analysis suggests the presence of a third star.
The observations are modelled with BinaryMaker3 and parameters of the
system are derived.
Light-travel time effects in binary systems []
The light-travel time effects for a pulsating star (or a close
binary) in a binary system are calculated.
KZ Hya: a pulsating binary (improved) [Observed: 9 Feb, 11, 14 March, 19 Apr 2007]
This pulsating star is in a binary system with an 8-yr orbital
period. The times of maximum are compared with an improved ephemeris and
the parameters of the binary are derived.
