Photoelectric Observation of the Long-Period Eclipsing Binaries at Yonsei University Observatory

  • Published : 1986.06.01

Abstract

A long-term project(ten-year ; 1982-92) for the photoeletric observation in the UBV passbands of selected eclipsing binaries with P$\geq$10 days has initiated at Yonsei University Observatory using 40-cm and 61-cm reflectors. the instrumentatio used and the observation techniques and the reduction procedures applied to this investiagation are described. Out of 39 program stars, successful results have been obtained during our first two years for the 11 stars listed below, with the orbital period in days in the parenthesis, and the incomplete light curves of these stars are presented. SX Cas (36.57) AQ Cas (11.72) UU Cnc (96.71) RY Gem (9.30) V373 Cas (13.42) NY Cep (15.28) RX Cas (32.32) V396 Cas (15.28) ZZ Cnc (25.60) Zet Aur (982.2) Eps Aur (9885.) For the rest of the stars, the observations made in the first two years are not sufficient to attempt any meaning light curve construction ; some of the data are too fragmented and others show large scatter.
