OBSERVATIONS AND TIMES OF MINIMA in a cyclical manner with a period of 40y and an amplitude of 0.d0095, which was superposed on a secular period The CCD photometric observations of V700 Cyg for the increasing at a rate of +8.41 × 10-8 d/yr. Molik & Wolf (2004) purpose of timing determination were made on the nights independently analyzed the times of minima that were of November 4 and 12 in 2008 with the 35 cm campus available to them and found only a cyclic period change station reflector at the Chungbuk National University of 46y without any secular change. Yang & Dai (2009) Observatory in Korea. The telescope was equipped with confirmed the result of Qian’s (2003) period study and an SBIG ST-8 CCD imaging system and electrically cooled obtained a cyclic period of 54y, with an amplitude of 0.d0212 with a 19' × 12'field of view. No filters were used in our longer than those identified by Qian (2003) and Molik observations. GSC 3152-527 and GSC 3153-193 were & Wolf (2004).

In addition, new symmetric VR raw CCD frames have been described in detail by Kim et light curves showing no O’Connell effect were secured by al. (2006). The resultant standard error of our observations Yang & Dai (2009). Their analyses of the light curves with the (check minus comparison) was approximately ±0.m009. The Wilson-Devinney binary model (Wilson & Devinney 1971) light curves for the observations are shown in Fig. 1. showed a temperature difference of ΔT = 503K between the From our observations using the conventional Kwee & components, a mass ratio of 0.544, an inclination of 84.o1 van Woerden (1956, KW) method, two times of minimum and a fill-out factor of 15.1%. These values are larger than light were determined. In addition, we researched whether ΔT = 374K, smaller than 0.652, 79.o9 and 27%, respectively, according to Niarchos et al. (1997). Although the reasons for the differences between the two investigators are currently unknown, it is true that the differences cannot be negligible and must be solved with new photometric and spectroscopic observations. Xiang et al. (2009) also conducted a period study by using the times of minima available to them and found a period of 39.y1 for the cyclic term with an amplitude of 0.d0197; a secular period increase of +2.8 × 10-8 d/yr was derived. Xiang et al. (2009) suggested an additional cyclic oscillation with a period of approximately 25.y0 and a small amplitude of 0.d0031 in the residuals from the first cyclic term. Surveying the historical period studies performed by the investigators above, we note the following: 1) even concurrent studies (Xiang et al. 2009, Yang & Dai 2009) made with nearly the same times of minima do not show consistency for the period of the seemingly cyclic change; and 2) numerous timings before and after the recent period studies of Xiang et al. (2009) and Yang & Dai (2009) have been published (e.g., see Table 1 and the references therein). In this paper, we perform an intensive reanalysis of all the published timings available to us, including our new two timings and 59 others calculated from the super wide angle search for planets (SWASP) observations. Two cyclic changes superposed on a weakly constrained Fig. 1. The observed eclipse light curves of V700 Cyg and the check upward parabolic variation are suggested.

V700 Cyg has been observed in survey works such as the all 3. PERIOD STUDY sky automated survey (ASAS) and the SWASP. Fortunately, V700 Cyg is identified as 1SWASP + J203105.27 + 384701.8 in To investigate the period variation of V700 Cyg, a total of the SWASP public archive that is available at the Web1 and 148 (9 visual, 14 plate, 7 photographic, and 118 photoelectric managed by the SWASP community. Using the SWASP data and CCD) times of minimum light (including ours and those observed from June 14 to October 25 in 2007, we calculated from the SWASP) were collected from a modern database a total of 59 timings (27 for the primary timing and 32 for the (Kreiner et al. 2001) and from the recent literature.

The (O-C1) diagram is shown in Fig. 2 where different symbols in size and shape are used according to the observational method and the type of eclipse for each of the timings. As shown in Fig. 2, it is clear that the variation y y pattern of the observed (O-C1) residuals from 1946 to 2012 is complex. The orbital period before about 2008y seemed to be globally sinusoidal; however, there is a large gap of about 12 years between 1982y and 1994y. This fact was noticed by Qian (2003), Xiang et al. (2009) and Yang & Dai (2009). These authors made intensive period studies of V700 Cyg and adopted a quadratic plus sine ephemeris to explain the (O-C) residuals constructed with their available timings. Fig. 2.

The Levenberg-Marquardt method was used again to solve Eq. (4) simultaneously. Thirteen parameters were adjusted in Eq. (4). The results are listed in the 3rd and 4th columns of Table 2. The quality of the final solution represented by Eq. (4) can be judged by Fig. 4, which plots the (O-C) residuals with the linear term of Eq. (4); the dashed and solid lines represent the quadratic and full terms of Eq. (4), respectively. As shown at the bottom of Fig. 4, the standard deviation for the photoelectric and CCD residuals from the full terms of Eq. (4) is σ = ±0.d0006, which is compatible with the nominal, modern photoelectric and CCD timing accuracy. Figs. 5 and 6 show two cyclic (O-C) diagrams phased with each of their periods; the continuous lines were drawn with the solution parameters in Table 2. The residuals from the linear and full terms of Eq. (4) are listed in the fifth and sixth columns of Table 2, respectively. Fig. 5.

In the above section, we have decoupled two cyclic terms via Eq. (4) from the observed (O-C) residuals shown in Figs. 4-6. One LTE orbit with the longer period of 62.y8 d (Pout) has a semi-amplitude of 0. 0258 (Kout) and a relatively

small eccentricity of 0.067 (eout) while the LTE orbit with the y d shorter period of 20. 3 (Pin) has a semi-amplitude of 0. 0037

The observation epochs of light curves by Niarchos et al. & Guinan 1994, Maceroni & van’t Veer 1991, Stepien 1995, (1997) and Yang & Dai (2009) are marked as ‘a’ and ‘b’ with 2006, Demircan 1999). Mass and energy exchanges through an arrow in Figs. 5 and 6, respectively. As shown in Fig. 5, the connecting neck between the two components are also the light curves from Niarchos et al. (1997) were obtained possible, resulting in a thermal relaxation oscillation (TRO; from a position somewhat distant from the ascending Lucy 1976, Flannery 1976, Robertson & Eggleton 1977). If nodal point in the 63.y4 sinusoidal curve, but Yang & Dai’s we assume that the two mechanisms occur concurrently (2009) obtained their light curves just near the descending in any contact binary system and that the size of the period nodal point. Because the two epochs are near nodal points decreasing rate predicted by the AML is slightly smaller than and the Applegate RMS brightness variation calculation that of the increase rate caused by a mass transfer from the is small, the expectation is that the light curves at the two less massive component to the more massive component, epochs are symmetrical, but the reality described above is then a weak secular period increase could possibly be different. In Fig. 6, we see that the light curves of Niarchos observed (as in the V700 system). Under this assumption, et al. (1997) and Yang & Dai (2009) were observed near the an observed secular period rate can be formulated as the bottom and top, respectively, of the highly quasi-sinusoidal sum of the period change rates of the two mechanisms as curve with the 20.y4 shorter period. If the Applegate follows: mechanism is assumed to be a cause of the shorter period modulation, then any light curves at the positions should , (5) show as asymmetrical because of the highly enhanced magnetic activities, but the perfect symmetric light curves from Yang & Dai (2009) defy that explanation. Based on where the first and second terms in the right side represent these discussions, the preferred explanation is that the the period variation rates due to magnetic braking (mb) geometrical LTEs (due to the third and fourth stars) cause and mass transfer (mt), respectively. In the case of V700 the two cyclic period variations, although the Applegate Cyg, the decreasing period rate caused by the magnetic mechanism cannot be ruled out based on the presently braking was determined to be -5.8 × 10-8 day/year with the available insufficient data (light curves and timings). formula provided by Bradstreet & Guinan (1994). Therefore, the secular period increase by a mass transfer from the less massive star to the more massive one is calculated with Eq. 5. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION (5) as +6.7× 10-8 day/year, which is comparable to those of other W UMa contact binaries (e.g., Wolf et al. 2000, Qian To understand the dynamical picture of this active W 2003, Kim et al. 2003, Lee et al. 2008). If this picture is true UMa binary system in detail, we analyzed a total of 148 of V700 Cyg, then the system is on an evolutionary phase timings of V700 Cyg, including our two timings and 59 in that the increasing period rate by a secular mass transfer others that were calculated from the SWASP observations. from the less massive hot star to the more massive cool It was found that the orbital period of the system has varied one is comparable to or slightly larger than the decreasing over about 66y in two cyclical components superposed on rate by a secular AML (due to magnetic braking).

The secular period increase of +8.7 (±4.0) × 10-9 day/ In addition to the secular period increase, the complex year is one order of magnitude lower than those obtained period variations of V700 Cyg were decoupled into two previously (Xiang et al. 2009, Yang & Dai 2009), indicating cyclical components via two LTE ephemeris. The inner y y that the secular period increase over 66 is not convincingly orbit has a period of 20. 3 (Pin), a small semi-amplitude of d revealed with the present timing data. The weak secular 0. 0037 (Kin) and a remarkably large eccentricity of 0.934 y period increase of V700 Cyg may be a special feature in (ein), while the outer orbit has a longer period of 62. 8 (Pout), d that the secular period increases (or decreases) of most a semi-amplitude of 0. 0258 (Kout) and a small eccentricity of of W UMa contact binaries are approximately one or two 0.067 (eout). Some commensurable relations between these orders of magnitude larger than that of V700 Cyg (e.g., Wolf elements seem to exist such as Pin:Pout ≈ 1:3, Kin:Kout ≈ 1:7, et al. 2000, Qian 2003, Kim et al. 2003, Lee et al. 2008). In and ein:eout ≈ 14:1. Our investigation shows that these types general, W UMa binaries are known to suffer from a secular of commensurabilities, particularly between periods, exist period decrease via angular momentum loss (AML) due to possibly in some eclipsing binary stars with orbital periods magnetic braking (van’t Veer 1979, Rucinski 1982, Bradstreet that have been reported to suffer from two sinusoidal period http://dx.doi.org/10.5140/JASS.2012.29.2.151 158 Chun-Hwey Kim & Jang Hae Jeong V700 Cygni, A dynamically active binary II
