  • Pulsating Components in Binary and Multiple Stellar Systems---A
    Research in Astron. & Astrophys. Vol.15 (2015) No.?, 000–000 (Last modified: — December 6, 2014; 10:26 ) Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics Pulsating Components in Binary and Multiple Stellar Systems — A Catalog of Oscillating Binaries ∗ A.-Y. Zhou National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100012, China; [email protected] Abstract We present an up-to-date catalog of pulsating binaries, i.e. the binary and multiple stellar systems containing pulsating components, along with a statistics on them. Compared to the earlier compilation by Soydugan et al.(2006a) of 25 δ Scuti-type ‘oscillating Algol-type eclipsing binaries’ (oEA), the recent col- lection of 74 oEA by Liakos et al.(2012), and the collection of Cepheids in binaries by Szabados (2003a), the numbers and types of pulsating variables in binaries are now extended. The total numbers of pulsating binary/multiple stellar systems have increased to be 515 as of 2014 October 26, among which 262+ are oscillating eclipsing binaries and the oEA containing δ Scuti componentsare updated to be 96. The catalog is intended to be a collection of various pulsating binary stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We reviewed the open questions, advances and prospects connecting pulsation/oscillation and binarity. The observational implication of binary systems with pulsating components, to stellar evolution theories is also addressed. In addition, we have searched the Simbad database for candidate pulsating binaries. As a result, 322 candidates were extracted. Furthermore, a brief statistics on Algol-type eclipsing binaries (EA) based on the existing catalogs is given. We got 5315 EA, of which there are 904 EA with spectral types A and F.

We build a catalog of 88 eclipsing binaries with spectroscopic information, taking advantage of observations from both the Large Sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) surveys. A software pipeline is constructed to identify binary candidates by examining their light curves. The orbital periods of binaries are derived from the Lomb-Scargle method. The key distinguishing features of eclipsing binaries are recognized by a new filter Flat Test. We classify the eclipsing binaries by applying Fourier analysis on the light curves. Among all the binary stars, 13 binaries are identified as eclipsing binaries for the first time.

  • VSS Newsletter – May 2009
    Newsletter 2009/2 2009 May From the Director The opening bars of the first movement Sometimes I feel like the conductor of an orchestra – I wave a wand but everyone else produces the real music. And that’s the way it is in these early days of VSS. A priority for me has been to recruit people far better qualified than I to develop the various spe- cialist areas of VSS. In addition to Stan Walker in LPVs and Alan Plummer in Visual, we now have Dr Paddy McGee of Adelaide to handle CVs. With a PhD in CVs and a range of valuable collabora- tions, it would be hard to find better. I’m really looking forward to see what Paddy comes up with for us. Bob Evans of Invercargill has kindly agreed to handle membership and finance for VSS. Thank God you’re here, Bob! Membership already stands at 20, and I’d expect more to sign up at the RASNZ Conference. A membership form is in the back of this Newsletter. Remember, only VSS members can partake in VSS Projects. After much arm-twisting, I’ve finally persuaded me to take on the role of Coordinator of the Eclips- ing Binaries Programme. I’ve got a couple of projects in mind that I’ll discuss later in this Newsletter, but I confess I’ve been too busy running this show to have anything concrete yet. Which is why a Director shouldn’t be a Coordinator. Anyone want to take Eclipsers away from me, please? Pleeeease? Everyone is waiting on what Michael Chapman will produce for our website, www.varstars.org.
