  • All published and newly observed times of minimum light of the massive, early-type eclipsing binary star AH Cep were analyzed. After subtracting the light time effect due to the well-known third body from the residuals of the observed times of minimum light, it was found that the second-order Ο-C residuals varied in a cyclical way. It was assumed that the secondary oscillations were produced by a light time effect due to a fourth body so all the times of minimum light were reanalyzed with a differential least-squares scheme in order to obtain the light time orbits due to both the third and fourth bodies. The periods, eccentricities, semi-amplitudes of the light time orbits for the third and fourth-bodies were derived as : P$\_$3/=68.$\^$y/3 and P$\_$4/=9.$\^$y/3, e$_3$=0.53 and e$_4$=0.83, K$_3$=0.$\^$d/0585 and K$_4$=0.$\^$d/0045, respectively. The analysis of the radial velocities of AH Cep published so far, do not conflict with the hypothesis of the multiplicity of the system but their accuracies are not high enough to be useful to support the interpretation. Other properties of the distant bodies are discussed for assorted possible inclinations of their orbits.

  • 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경을 사용하여 식쌍성 SW Lyn에 대한 UBV관측을 1983년 9월 부터 1987년 3월까지 7일밤 동안 수행하여 광도곡선을 얻었다. 이 광도곡선은 부극심을 중심으로 좌우가 비대칭이며 그 정도는 파장이 짧을수록 심한 것으로 나타났다. 비대칭 광도변화를 만드는 윈인을 흑점이라고 가정하고, 우리의 광도곡선 중에서 B와 V광도곡선을 WD 방법으로 분석하여 해를 얻었다. 그 결과 SW Lyn이 접촉에 가까운 준접촉계임이 밝혀졌으며 Case A 진화를 하는것으로 보인다.

  • The orbital period changes of the W UMa eclipsing binary AU Ser are studied using the (O-C) method. We conclude that the period variation is due to mass transfer from the primary star to the secondary one at a very low and decreasing rate $dP/dt=-8.872{\times}10^{-8}$, superimposed on the sinusoidal variation due to a third body orbiting the binary with period $42.87{\pm}3.16$ years, orbital eccentricity $e=0.52{\pm}0.12$ and a longitude of periastron passage ${\omega}=133^{\circ}.7{\pm}15$. On studying the magnetic activity, we have concluded that the Applegate mechanism failed to describe the cycling variation of the (O-C) diagram of AU Ser.

  • We presented the accurate absolute dimensions and distances of fifteen main sequence eclipsing binaries. The photometric and spectroscopic solutions of the binary systems were determined by analyzing light curves and radial velocity curves collected from the literature using the Wilson-Devinney computer code. The fifteen double-line spectroscopic binaries consist of nine detached systems; QX Car, AH Cep, CW Cep, ZZ Cep, XY Cet, RX Her, V451 Oph, VV Pyx and V760 Sco, six semi-detached systems; LY Aur, IU Aur, AO Cas, DM Per, V Pup and HU Tau. The temperatures of the binary systems were determined from their colors using the color-temperature calibrations. Then the temperature of each component star were determined using the temperature ratio which was adjusted from the light curves. We estimated the possible Z values and ages for the detached systems by adopting the Y2 (Yonsei-Yale) stellar evolutionary tracks. The derived distances are in good agreement of the Hipparcos distances whose error of parallax is within 10 %. Finally these well-investigated systems will be used as the standard eclipsing binaries.

  • Many filtered CCD measures form the basis of six new light curves of the eclipsing system SW Lyn. From these measures and additional observations for eclipse timing, 47 new times of minimum light over the time-interval of about 13 years have been calculated. The complex period variability can be sorted into a linear period improvement with 5.8-year and 33.9-year periodic terms. The shorter cyclic term of these is ascribed to a cool companion of the eclipsing pair but the longer one has no testable interpretation at present. The new light curves are synthesized by the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney differential corrections computer code. The results incorporate a source of "third light" which comes from the cool companion star that had been identified by the cycling of the period of the eclipsing pair and also had previously been identified spectroscopically. There is a measure of satisfaction with current understanding of the SW Lyn eclipsing system because of consistent syntheses of all historical light curves. This agreeable convergence, however, comes partly at the expense of an unanticipated temperature of the hot star and of a photospheric spot that has no obvious basis in the detached character modeled for the binary. We offer predictions of changes in the stellar parameters if the modeled detached-configuration should be wrong. The SW Lyn stellar system is still difficult to understand.

  • We present the result of radial velocity observation of a W UMa type binary star EX Leo. We observed the star on February 16, 2003, using Long-Slit spectrograph of BOAO(Bohyunsan Optical Astronomical Observatory). Since the spectral lines are broad due to its fast rotation, it is difficult to distinguish two radial velocities from cross correlation function. Instead of cross correlation function, we used broadening function to develop our own code which estimate the radial velocity of the broadened line spectra. With our own code, radial velocities of primary and secondary stars are derived simultaneously. From the radial velocity curve fit, we obtained $K_1=50.24{\pm}8.29km/s$ and $K_2=254.05{\pm}20.984km/s$ respectively.

  • Massive binary stars lose mass by two mechanisms: jet-driven mass loss during periods of active mass transfer and by wind-driven mass loss. Beta Lyrae is an eclipsing, semi-detached binary whose state of active mass transfer provides a unique opportunity to study how the evolution of binary systems is affected by jet-driven mass loss. Roche lobe overflow from the primary star feeds the thick accretion disk which almost completely obscures the mass-gaining star. A hot spot predicted to be on the edge of the accretion disk may be the source of beta Lyrae's bipolar outflows. I present results from spectropolarimetric data taken with the University of Wisconsin's Half-Wave Spectropolarimeter and the Flower and Cook Observatory's photoelastic modulating polarimeter instrument which have implications for our current understanding of the system's disk geometry. Using broadband polarimetric analysis, I derive new information about the structure of the disk and the presence and location of a hot spot. These results place constraints on the geometrical distribution of material in beta Lyrae and can help quantify the amount of mass lost from massive interacting binary systems during phases of mass transfer and jet-driven mass loss.

  • We have presented the evolutionary status of four detached double line spectroscopic eclipsing binaries which are CD Tau, CM Lac, HS Hya and ZZ Boo because the component stars of these binary systems still act as a single star. We determined the absolute dimensions of these binary systems using photometric and spectroscopic solutions from analysis of light curves and radial velocity curves. Using the luminosities, effective temperatures and masses we choose evolutionary tracks of these binary systems. Finally we obtained ages and metallicity of the stars. We found that CM Lac and HS Hya are very young stars and their ages are in range of 0.15-1.05 and 0.22-1.14 Gyrs. For CD Tau and ZZ Boo, they are older than the others and their age in range of 1.95-2.95 and 1.48-1.73 Gyrs.

  • Close binary stars are so close that one component has an effect on the evolution of the other. But how do they form and evolve? This is an unsolved problem. One speculation is that the binary is a part of a hierarchical triple and its orbit shrinks due to interaction with the third component. Therefore, searching for and investigating tertiary components, especially close-in ones, in close binary stars are important for understanding their origin, as well as to test theories of star formation and stellar dynamical interaction.
