We present photometric solutions of the 26,212 eclipsing binaries discovered in the LMC by Graczyk et al. (2011). They published that 70 percent of a total are detached systems. Another 25 and 5 percent are semi-detached and contact binaries, respectively. We discovered that 21 percent of 26,121 eclipsing binary stars are eccentric orbit systems. The binary star distribution in the LMC is different from those of the Galactic center direction (Bade window). It is very interesting that there are only 5 of 357 (2 percent) stars have eccentric orbit in the Galactic Center (Kang 2011). We selected the light curve of 18,274 detached systems. Then we estimated the fundamental parameters on the basis of their photometric solutions and the semi-major-axis (a) assuming the distance modulus to the LMC~18.50. We compared the estimated fundamental parameters with an empirical mass-luminosity relation and consistency between mass-radius relation base on stellar evolution model in the low metallicity (Z=0.008) by Bertelli et al. (2009). This method allows for independent determine of the fundamental parameters of the eclipsing binaries in the LMC without the radial velocity curves.

Implemented at the Geochang Observatory in South Korea, our slope detection and ranging (SLO-DAR) system features a 508 mm Cassegrain telescope (f /7.8), incorporating two Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensors (WFS) for precise measurements of atmospheric phase distortions, particularly from nearby binary or double stars, utilizing an 8 × 8 grid of sampling points. With an ability to reconstruct eight-layer vertical atmospheric profiles, the system quantifies the refractive index structure function (C_n²) through the crossed-beam method. Adaptable in vertical profiling altitude, ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers, contingent on the separation angle of binary stars, the system operates in both wide (2.5 to 12.5 arcminute separation angle) and narrow modes (11 to 15 arcsecond separation angle), covering altitudes from 122.3 to 611.5 meters and 6.1 to 8.3 kilometers, respectively. Initial measurements at the Geochang Observatory indicated C_n² values up to 181.7 meters with a Fried parameter (r₀) of 8.4 centimeters in wide mode and up to 7.8 kilometers with an r₀ of 8.0 centimeters in narrow mode, suggesting similar seeing conditions to the Bohyun Observatory and aligning with a comparable 2014-2015 seeing profiling campaign in South Korea.

We discuss the orbital period changes of the Algol semi-detached eclipsing binary DI Peg by constructing the (O-C) residual diagram via using all the available precise minima times. We conclude that the period variation can be explained by a sine-like variation due to the presence of a third body orbiting the binary, together with a long-term orbital period increase (dP/dt=0.17 sec/century) that can be interpreted to be due to mass transfer from the evolved secondary component (of rate $1.52{\times}10^{-8}M_{\odot}/yr$) to the primary one. The detected low-mass third body ($M_{3min.}=0.22{\pm}0.0006M_{\odot}$) is responsible for a periodic variation of about 55 years light time effect. We have determined the orbital parameters of the third component which show a considerable eccentricity $e_3=0.77{\pm}0.07$ together with a longitude of periastron ${\omega}_3=300^{\circ}{\pm}10^{\circ}$.

In order to study the X-ray radiations from solar type strong interacting binary stars, we have collected X-ray data of 44i Bootis (P=0.2678 days, SP=G2+G2) from the EXOSAT data archive. Preliminarly analysis of a part of these data has been already reported by Vilhu & Heise (1986). In this paper, however, we present a more complete light curve in LE region than the previous work, and some unpublished X-ray light curves and spectrums. Using these new materials a new attempt to find the physical explanation about. some observational characteristic figures in the X-ray light curves and spectrums has been made.

Existing but largely unused binary star model capabilities are examined. An easily implemented scheme is parameterization of starspot growth and decay that can stimulate work on outer convection zones and their dynamos. Improved precision in spot computation now enhances analysis of very precise data. An existing computational model for blended spectral line profiles is accurate for binary system effects but needs to include damping, thermal Doppler, and other intrinsic broadening effects. Binary star ephemerides had been found exclusively from eclipse timings until recently, but now come also from whole light and radial velocity curves. A logical further development will be to expand these whole curve solutions to include eclipse timings. An attenuation model for circumstellar clouds, with several absorption and scattering mechanisms, has been applied only once, perhaps because the model clouds have fixed locations. However the clouds could be made to move dynamically and be combined into moving streams and disks. An area of potential interest is polarization curve analysis, where incentive for modeling could follow from publication of observed polarization curves. Other recent advances include direct single step solutions for temperatures of both stars of an eclipsing binary and third body kinematics from combined light and velocity curves.

We present the first BVRI CCD photometric observations of V345 Cas made on 22 nights during the observing seasons in 2007-2008. Our light curves, resembling those of EB-type binary stars, are analyzed with the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney binary code. The photometric study shows that V345 Cas is a typical semi-detached binary system with the primary star being about ${\Delta}T$ = 2400 K hotter, two times more massive, but only 17% larger than the secondary star being filled with it's Roche-lobe. The orbit has a relatively large inclination of about $88^{\circ}$. A cool spot on the secondary component is modeled to explain a small light curve asymmetry. Absolute dimensions and related radiometric parameters of the eclipsing pair are calculated and their evolutionary states are discussed with the HR diagrams of mass-radius and temperature-luminosity. A period analysis of all available times of minima, including our measurements, indicates that the orbital period may vary in a cyclical way, unfortunately the secondary period for the variation can not be uniquely determined because of lack of present timing data.

We present analyses of ~1250 variable sources identified in a 20 square degree field toward NGC 2784 by the KMTNet Supernova Program. We categorize the variable sources into three groups based on their B-band variability. The first group consists of 31 high variability sources with their B-band RMS variability greater than 0.3 magnitudes. The second group of medium variability contains 265 sources with RMS variability between 0.05 and 0.3 magnitudes. The remaining 951 sources belong to the third group of low variability with an RMS variability smaller than 0.05 magnitudes. Of the entire ~1250 sources, 4 clearly show periods of variability greater than 100 days, while the rest have periods shorter than ~51 days or no reliable periods. The majority of the sources show either rather irregular variability or short periods faster than 2 days. Most of the sources with reliable period determination between 2 and 51 days belong to the low-variability group, although a few belong to the medium-variability group. All the variable sources with periods longer than 35 days appear to be very red with B - V > 1.5 and V - I > 2.1 magnitudes. We classify candidates of 51 Cepheids, 17 semi-regular variables, 3 Mira types, 2 RV(B) Tauri stars, 26 eclipsing binary systems and 1 active galactic nucleus. The majority of long-term variables in our sample belong to either Mira or semi-regular types, indicating that long-term variability may be more prominent in post-main sequence phases of late-type stars. The depth of the eclipsing dips of the 26 candidates for eclipsing binaries is equivalent to ~0.61 as the average relative size of the two stars in the binary system. Our results illustrate the power of the KMTNet Supernova Program for future studies of variable objects.

ROTSE(Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment) 후속관측을 통하여 W UMa형 식쌍성으로 재분류했던 변광성 중 광도곡선의 형태가 특이한 2개의 변광성에 대하여 2004년 5월 1일부터 5일간에 걸쳐 레몬산천문대 1m 망원경을 이용하여 고정밀 측광관측을 BVI 영역에서 수행하였다. W UMa형 식쌍성의 체계적인 분석을 위하여 2005년 개정한 Wilson-Devinney 쌍성코드를 사용하는 광도곡선분석 스크립트를 작성하였다. GSC2576-0319와 GSC2584-1731의 광도곡선을 분석하여 얻은 궤도경사각 (i)은 $43.^{\circ}5$와 $57.^{\circ}6$로써 비교적 낮은 값을 가지고 있으며, GSC2S84-1731의 광도곡선상 비대칭 효과를 설명하기 위하여 흑점모델을 적용하고, 이때의 흑점인자를 결정하였다.

In order to increase the completeness of the investigations of stellar abundances, we can use spectrum synthesis method, new atomic data and observation of stellar spectra with resolution comparable to solar spectral atlases. We made a brief review of main problems of these three ways. We present new results of abundance determinations in the atmospheres of four stars. The first is the implementation of new atomic data to well known Przybylski's star. We show that the number of spectral lines, which can be identificated in the spectrum of this star, can be significantly higher. The second example is the investigation of $\zeta$ Cyg. We found the abundances of 51 elements in the atmosphere of this mild barium star. The third example is halo star HD221170. Our preliminary abundance pattern consists of 42 elements. The heaviest elements in this pattern are U and Th. The last star is the spectroscopic binary HD153720. The number of elements investigated in the spectra of components of this star is not large, but the results show that the components are Am-stars.

NGC 6871을 중심으로 한 Cyg OB3 성협 영역에 대한 변광성 탐사로부터 Paper I에 이어 27개의 식쌍성과 19개의 장주기형 불규칙 변광성을 찾았다. 이 중에서 5개를 제외한 나머지는 모두 새로 발견한 것이다. 27개의 식쌍성 중에서 20개는 주기와 변광진폭 등을 구하였으며, 나머지 7개는 모두 EA형 식쌍성으로 보이지만 관측자료의 부족으로 주기를 결정하지는 못하였다. 주기를 구한 20개의 식쌍성 중에서 주극소의 깊이를 확실하게 구하지 못한 V27를 제외한 V와 B등급의 변광진폭비 $A_V/A_B$가 0.88로서 Paper I의 ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성의 결과를 이용한 0.72와 뚜렷이 구분된다. EW형 식쌍성 만을 이용할 경우 변광진폭비는 0.92로 더 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 19개의 장주기형 불규칙 변광성은 주기가 너무 길고, 또한 비주기성 변광성으로 보이므로 주기를 얻지는 못하고, 밝기 변화만 알 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 찾은 변광성은 V등급이 9.05등급부터 16.47등급까지 분포하며, 변광진폭이 클 경우 16.5등급까지도 변광 여부를 확인할 수 있었다.
