AQ Cassiopeiae (BD+61`0242, uv=10, Sp=B3+Bg) is a totally eclipsing binary system with the obital period of about 12 days. 71 was observed for 15 nights in 1985 with the1.8-m telescope at the DAO, employing a Reticon and a three-stage image tube attached to the spectrograph. And also, photometric observations of AQ Cas had been made inUBv for six years from 1982 to 1988 at Yonsei University Observatory(YUO). This work includes UBV observations obtained at YUO as a part of The Ten-Year Observing Program(1982-1992). Double lined radial, velocity curves and Ufv light curves of AQC as are constructed. The light curves and radial velocity curves show a strong evidence of circumstellar matter or mass stream. It is clear at the phases of just outside externaleclipse contacts, particularly at phase 0.8-0.9, shown in Figures 1 and 2. A solution by combining the radial velocity and photometric curves of the binary was obtained with the Wilson-Devinney Code. We found that the system is semi-detached with the coolcomponent filling its Roche lobe. The absolute dimensions of AQ Cas are calculated. The result shows that this system consists of two massive and subgiant stars.

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 investigated the dynamical stability of the proposed companions orbiting the Algol type short-period eclipsing binary SW Lyncis (Kim et al. 2010). The two candidate companions are of stellar to substellar nature, and were inferred from timing measurements of the system's primary and secondary eclipses. We applied well-tested numerical techniques to accurately integrate the orbits of the two companions and to test for chaotic dynamical behavior. We carried out the stability analysis within a systematic parameter survey varying both the geometries and orientation of the orbits of the companions, as well as their masses. In all our numerical integrations we found that the proposed SW Lyn multi-body system is highly unstable on time-scales on the order of 1000 years. Our results cast doubt on the interpretation that the timing variations are caused by two companions. This work demonstrates that a straightforward dynamical analysis can help to test whether a best-fit companion-based model is a physically viable explanation for measured eclipse timing variations. We conclude that dynamical considerations reveal that the proposed SW Lyncis multi-body system most likely does not exist or the companions have significantly different orbital properties from those conjectured in Kim et al. (2010).

소백산 천문대에서 1997년 2월부터 1998년 3월까지 총 3일 밤 동안 VRI 필터를 가지고 AK Her에 대한 CCD 측광관측을 수행하여 얻은 관측점의 수는 V는 236점, R은 198점, I는 197점이다. 관측 기간 동안 주극심과 부극심 시각을 각각 1개씩 관측하였으며, 우리의 관측자료를 가지고 VRI 광도곡선과 (O-C)도를 만들었다. Wilson-Devinney 방법으로 우리의 광도곡선을 분석한 결과 AK Her는 접촉형 (모드 3)의 경우는 해를 구할 수 없었고, 나머지(모드2, 4, 5)에 대해서는 접촉형에 가까운 분리형 또는 반분리형이라고 할 수 있었다. 우리의 최근자료를 가지고 만든 (O-C)도에서 AK Her 공전주기는 Borkovits & Hegedus의 예상과는 다르게 1990년도 이후 증가하는 변화가 나타났다.

1998년 12월부터 1999년 5월까지 총 10일간 W UMa형 접촉쌍성 AH Cnc를 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경과 PM512 CCD 카메라, 그리고 BVI 필터를 사용하여 CCD 측광을 수행하였다. 새롭게 얻은 BVI 광도곡선을 Wilson-Devinney 쌍성모델의 Mode 3(접촉형)으로 분석해서 측광해를 구하고 Roche 모형을 얻었다. 지금까지 발표된 모든 극심시각들과 이번 관측자료를 사용하여 얻은 (O-C)도를 분석해서 영년주기 증가율와 질량이동률을 계산하였다.

근성점 운동을 하는 IQ Per의 극심 시각 관측을 2002년 11월과 12월에 걸쳐 4일간 VR파장 영역에서 수행하였다. 이 관측으로부터 4개의 새로운 극심시각을 결정하였다. 우리의 극심시각과 여러 문헌으로부터 수집 한 극심시각을 이용하여 IQ Per의 근성점 운동을 분석하였다. 우리가 구한 항성 주기 $P_{s}$와 근성점 운동 주기 U는 Degirmenci(1997)의 것보다 약 0.035초와 0.2년 약간 길게 각각 계산되었다. 이 논문에서 새로 구한 IQ Per의 근성점 운동 변수들은 Degirmenci(1997)가 결정한 변수들과 거의 일치하고 있다. 우리의 결과는 그가 관측으로 구한 IQ Per의 내부 밀도 상수 $k_{2obs}$ = 0.0038와 약5% 이내에서 관측치와 이론치가 일치한다는 그의 결론을 지지한다.

We have investigated intensively an optical telescope with 76cm diameter and CCD camera system in astronomical observatory of Kyung Hee university, in order to maximize instrumental functions of our observational equipments and to construct a more reliable photometric system. And computer softwares AUTO DOME, KH CCD and KH PHO for astronomical image observations and their automatic photometries with high accuracy have been made for observers w use our observational system conveniently and efficiently. Throughout careful examinations of these programs, it has been proved that the observing time by our program is shorter than that by manual operations, so that, fast and accurate observations can be executed with ease. For open cluster NGC 7063 observed with S/N value of 350 or more by KH PHO, we have found the magnitude measurements of 11 object stars would show 0.007 magnitude difference, comparing with magnitude data from IRAF/APPHOT. From automatic photometry of eclipsing binary, AB And observed by our software, total 220 data points with good quality have been acquired during 8 hours and so we could make a better light curve than that obtained from any observational results by domestic photoelectric photometry system.

We present the final results of our study on the mass-loss rate of donor stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs). Observed donors are oversized in comparison with those of isolated single stars of the same mass, which is thought to be a consequence of the mass loss. Using the empirical mass-radius relation of CVs and the homologous approximation for changes in effective temperature T2, orbital period P, and luminosity of the donor with the stellar radius, we find the semi-empirical mass-loss rate M2dot of CVs as a function of P. The derived M2dot is at ~10-9.5-10-10 $M\odot$/yr and depends weakly on P when P > 90 min, while it declines very rapidly towards the minimum period when P < 90 min. The semi-empirical M2dot is significantly different from, and has a less-pronounced turnaround behavior with P than suggested by previous numerical models. The semi-empirical P-M2dot relation is consistent with the angular momentum loss due to gravitational wave emission, and strongly suggests that CV secondaries with 0.075 $M\odot$ < M2 < 0.2 $M\odot$ are less than 2 Gyrs old. When applied to selected eclipsing CVs, our semi-empirical mass-loss rates are in good agreement with the accretion rates derived from the effective temperatures T1 of white dwarfs. Based on the semi-empirical M2dot, SDSS 1501 and 1433 systems that were previously identified as post-bounce CVs have yet to reach the minimal period.

The DEEP-South photometric census of small Solar System bodies is producing massive time-series data of variable, transient or moving objects as a by-product. To fully investigate unexplored variable phenomena, we present an application of multi-aperture photometry and FastBit indexing techniques to a portion of the DEEP-South year-one data. Our new pipeline is designed to do automated point source detection, robust high-precision photometry and calibration of non-crowded fields overlapped with area previously surveyed. We also adopt an efficient data indexing algorithm for faster access to the DEEP-South database. In this paper, we show some application examples of catalog-based variability searches to find new variable stars and to recover targeted asteroids. We discovered 21 new periodic variables including two eclipsing binary systems and one white dwarf/M dwarf pair candidate. We also successfully recovered astrometry and photometry of two near-earth asteroids, 2006 DZ169 and 1996 SK, along with the updated properties of their rotational signals (e.g., period and amplitude).

DO Cas는 최근 Shaw (1990)에 의해 근접촉쌍성으로 분류된 공전주기 0.68일의 식쌍성이다. 짧은 공전주기를 가짐에도 불구하고 Mannino (1958) 이후 분광관측에 의한 시선속도 곡선이 발표되지 않고 있다. 그런데 Hill (1991)은 Mannino의 시선속도곡선이 오류를 포함하고 있는 것으 로 보인다고 하였다. 이 연구에서 우리는 Asiago 천문대에 의뢰하여 Mannino가 분석한 분광관측 사진건판을 입수하여 PDS로 측정하여 IRAP로 재분석하였다. 이 시선속도곡선과 1998년에 관측한 BVR 광도곡선을 Wilson-Devinney 방법으로 동시에 분석하였다. 그 결과 DO Cas가 접촉 또는 주성이 로쉬엽을 채우고 있는 접촉에 매우 가까운 준분리형 쌍성임을 확인하였으며 또한 이 계의 절대량을 구하였다.
