  • New CCD photometric observations of GX Aur have been made between 2004 and 2015. Our light curves are the first ever compiled and display the variable O'Connell effect. The light variations are satisfactorily modeled by including time-varying cool-spots on the component stars. Our light curve synthesis indicates that the eclipsing pair is an A-type contact binary with parameters of i = 81.1 deg, ${\Delta}T=36K$, q = 0.950 and f = 46%. Including our 25 timing measurements, a total of 83 times of minimum light spanning about 66 yr were used for a period study. It was found that the orbital period of GX Aur has varied due to two periodic oscillations superposed on an upward-opening parabolic variation. The long-term period increase rate is deduced as $+9.636{\times}10^{-10}d\;yr^{-1}$, which can be produced as a mass transfer from the secondary star to the primary at a rate of $3.136{\times}10^{-6}M_{\odot}\;yr^{-1}$, among the largest rates for contact systems. The periods and semi-amplitudes of the two periodic variations are about $P_3=8.7yr$ and $P_4=21.2yr$, and $K_3=0.011d$ and $K_4=0.017d$, respectively. The most reasonable explanation for both cycles is a pair of light-travel-time effects driven by the possible existence of an unseen third and fourth components with projected masses of $M_3=0.91M_{\odot}$ and $M_4=1.09M_{\odot}$ in eccentric orbits of $e_3=0.13$ and $e_4=0.73$. Because no third light was detected in the light curve synthesis, each circumbinary object could be a compact star or a binary itself.

  • The follow-up BVRI photometric observations of NSVS 1461538, which was discovered as an $Algol/{\beta}$ Lyr eclipsing variable by Hoffman, Harrison & McNamara (2009), were performed for three years from 2011 to 2013 by using the 61-cm telescope and CCD cameras of Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO). New light curves have deep depths both of the primary and secondary eclipses, rounded shapes outside eclipses and a strong O'Connell effect, indicating that NSVS 1461538 is a typical W UMa close binary system rather than an $Algol/{\beta}$ Lyr type binary star. A period study with all the timings shows that the orbital period may vary in a sinusoidal way with a period of about 5.6 yr and a small semi-amplitude of about 0.008 d. The cyclical period variation was interpreted as a light-time effect due to a tertiary body with a minimum mass of $0.66M{\odot}$. The first photometric solution with the Wilson-Devinney binary model shows that the system is a W-subtype contact binary with the mass ratio ($q=m_c/m_h$) of 3.46, orbit inclination of 85.6 deg and fill-out factor of 30%. From the existing empirical relationship between parameters, the absolute dimension was estimated. The masses and radii of the component stars are $0.28M{\odot}$ and $0.71R{\odot}$ for the less massive but hotter primary star, respectively, and $0.96M{\odot}$ and $1.21R{\odot}$ for the more massive secondary, respectively. Possible evolution of the system is discussed in the mass-radius and the mass-luminosity planes.

  • 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.

  • Blue straggler stars (BSs) are "rejuvenated" main sequence stars first recognized by Allan Sandage from his observation of the prominent northern globular cluster M3 in the year of 1953. BSs are now known to be present in diverse stellar environments including open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even the field populations of the Milky Way. This makes them a very useful tool in a wide range of astrophysical applications: Particularly BSs are considered to have a crucial role in the evolution of stellar clusters because they affect on the dynamics, the binary population, and the history of the stellar evolution of the cluster they belong to. Here we report a part of the preliminary results from our ongoing research on the BSs in the two metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), Hodge 11 and NGC1466. Using the high precision multi-band images obtained with the Advanced Camera for Survey (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we extract time-series photometry to search for the signal of periodic variations in the luminosity of the BSs. Our preliminary results confirm that several BSs are intrinsic "short period (0.05 < P < 0.25 days)" variable stars with either pulsating or eclipsing types. We will discuss our investigation on the properties of those variable BS candidates in the context of the formation channels of these exotic main sequence stars, and their roles in the dynamical evolution of the host star clusters.

  • 2000년 11월 21일부터 23일가지 3일간 식쌍성 V65l Cas의 극심시각 관측을 수행하였다. 이 관측으로부터 총7개의 새로운 극심시각을 얻었다. 이 관측치를 포함한 V651 Cas의 광전관측 및 CCD 극심시각을 재분석하여, 김천휘와 이재우(2000)가 제안한 제3 천체에 의한 광시간 궤도를 확인하였고, 개선하였다. 최종적으로 구한 광시간 궤도의 주기, 반-진폭, 그리고 이심율은 각각 $6.^{y}3,\;0.^{d}0013$, 그리고 0.78이다. 제3 천체의 궤도경사각이 $30^{\circ}$보다 클 경우, 제3 천체의 질량은 $0.09M_{\odot}\;{\leq}\;M_3\;{\leq}\;0.20M_{\odot}$의 범위에 있다. V65l Cas 계에 상정된 제3 천체가 진실로 존재하고, 주계열성이라면, 그 제3 천체는 주계열 끝에 위치한다.

  • 식변광성 WZ And에 대한 지금까지 관측 발표된 극심시각을 수집하여 이 별의 수기 변화를 분석하였다. 0-C도에 의한 이 별의 주변화는 JD2418000과 JD243500근처에서 각각 dp/p=$+4.24{\times}10^{-6}$과 dp/p=$-2.46{\times}10^{-6}$의 돌발적인 주기 변화를 보였다. WZ And의 주기변화의 모습을 분석하기 위하여 Biermann and Hall(1973)이 제시한 접촉 연섬계로부터 $7.42{\times}10^6M_0$가 온도가 높은 별(hotter component)로 교환됨을 산출하였다. 이러한 량의 질량교환으로 인한 주기감소를 계산하였다. 질량교환 모델에 의한 JD243500이후의 이론적인 주기로 $0^d.69565848$를 얻었으며, 관측에 의한 0-C도로부터 얻은 주기 $0^d.69566034$과 매우 잘 일치하고 있다. 한편, WZ And의 질량비에 의하면 이 별은 온도가 더 높은 별이 Roche lobe를 채우고 있음을 보여주며 이러한 WZ And는 Paczynski(1970)의 접촉연성계의 접화단계에서 Stage II에 있는 별이다.

  • We present the results of BV time-series photometry of the globular cluster NGC 288. Observations were carried out to search for variable stars using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) 1.6-m telescopes and a 4k pre-science CCD camera during a test observation from August to December, 2014. We found a new SX Phe star and confirmed twelve previously known variable stars in NGC 288. For the semi-regular variable star V1, we newly determined a period of 37.3 days from light curves spanning 137 days. The light-curve solution of the eclipsing binary V10 indicates that the system is probably a detached system. The pulsation properties of nine SX Phe stars were examined by applying multiple frequency analysis to their light curves. We derived a new Period-Luminosity (P-L) relation, ${\langle}M_V{\rangle}=-2.476({\pm}0.300){\log}P-0.354({\pm}0.385)$, from six SX Phe stars showing the fundamental mode. Additionally, the period ratios of three SX Phe stars that probably have a double-radial mode were investigated; $P_{FO}/P_F=0.779$ for V5, $P_{TO}/P_{FO}=0.685$ for V9, $P_{SO}/P_{FO}=0.811$ for V11. This paper is the first contribution in a series assessing the detections and properties of variable stars in six southern globular clusters with the KMTNet system.

  • 1995년 11월부터 1999년 12월까지 총 10일간 W형 접촉쌍성 AB And를 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경과 BVR필터를 사용하여 CCD 측광관측을 수행하였다. 우리의 관측으로부터 AB And의 1995, 1996그리고 1999년에 걸친 년도별 광도곡선을 완성하였고, 8개의 새로운 극심시각을 결정하였다. 새로 얻은 광도곡선은 AB And가 지난 5년 동안 심한 광도변화를 겪어왔음을 보여주고 있다. 기준 광도곡선으로 선정된 1996년의 광도곡선을 Wilson-Devinney쌍성모델의 접촉모드에 적용하여 AB And의 측광해를 구하였다. 이 분석에서 광도변화의 원인을 흑점에 의한 것으로 가정하여 시스템 인자들을 산출한 후, 단지 흑점만을 조정인자로 하여 1995년과 1999년 광도곡선을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 우리는 광도변화가 반성 표면 위에 hot spot과 cool spot가 동시에 존재해서 일어난다고 해석하였다. 반성 표면 위의 hot spot는 이재우(1999)가 제안한 질량교환에 의한 것으로 유추할 수 있다.

  • An intensive analysis of 148 timings of V700 Cyg was performed, including our new timings and 59 timings calculated from the super wide angle search for planets (SWASP) observations, and the dynamical evidence of the W UMa W subtype binary was examined. It was found that the orbital period of the system has varied over approximately $66^y$ in two complicated cyclical components superposed on a weak upward parabolic path. The orbital period secularly increased at a rate of $+8.7({\pm}3.4){\times}10^{-9}$ day/year, which is one order of magnitude lower than those obtained by previous investigators. The small secular period increase is interpreted as a combination of both angular momentum loss (due to magnetic braking) and mass-transfer from the less massive component to the more massive component. One cyclical component had a $20.^y3$ period with an amplitude of $0.^d0037$, and the other had a $62.^y8$ period with an amplitude of $0.^d0258$. The components had an approximate 1:3 relation between their periods and a 1:7 ratio between their amplitudes. Two plausible mechanisms (i.e., the light-time effects [LTEs] caused by the presence of additional bodies and the Applegate model) were considered as possible explanations for the cyclical components. Based on the LTE interpretation, the minimum masses of 0.29 $M_{\odot}$ for the shorter period and 0.50 $M_{\odot}$ for the longer one were calculated. The total light contributions were within 5%, which was in agreement with the 3% third-light obtained from the light curve synthesis performed by Yang & Dai (2009). The Applegate model parameters show that the root mean square luminosity variations (relative to the luminosities of the eclipsing components) are 3 times smaller than the nominal value (${\Delta}L/L_{p,s}{\approx}0.1$), indicating that the variations are hardly detectable from the light curves. Presently, the LTE interpretation (due to the third and fourth stars) is preferred as the possible cause of the two cycling period changes. A possible evolutionary implication for the V700 Cyg system is discussed.

  • 2004년 3월 25일부터 4일 동안 보현산천문대의 1.8m 망원경과 BOES(Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph)를 사용하여 AG Vir의 고분산 분광관측을 수행하고, 전위상에 걸쳐 총 59개의 스펙트럼을 얻었다. 쌍성계의 시선속도를 얻기 위하여, 교차상관함수(CCF; Cross-Correlation Function) 와 선폭증가함수(BF; Broadening Function)를 관측된 스펙트럼의 분석에 사용하였다. 이때, 교차상관함수 분석을 통하여 주성의 시선속도만을 얻을수 있었던 반면, 선폭증가함수 분석을 통하여 두 성분별의 시선속도를 모두 구할 수 있었다. 우리는 분광 궤도요소($K_1=90.5km/s$$K_2=258.8km/s$)와 Bell, Rainger, & Hilditch(1990)의 측광학적 해로부터 AG Vir의 절대 물리량을 다음과 같이 산출하였다. 즉, $M_1:1.99M_\bigodot,\;M_2:0.62M_\bigodot,\; R_1=2.21R_\bigodot,\;R_2=1.36R_\bigodot,\;L_1=13.17L_\bigodot$, 그리고 $L_2=3.47L_\bigodot$. 우리가 구한 각 성분별의 질량과 반경은 Bell, Rainger, & Hilditch(1990)의 값보다 더 크고, 광도 또한 더 밝다. 발표된 모든 시선속도곡선을 재분석한 결과, AG Vir의 시스템 속도는 약 ${\pm}8km/s$의 비교적 큰 편차를 나타낸다. 그러나 이 변화가 Qian(2001)이 제안한 제3 천체의 광시간 효과에 의해 일어난다고 단정 지을 수 있는 근거를 찾을 수는 없었다.
