The Case for Third Bodies as the Cause of Period Changes in Selected Algol Systems
Many eclipsing binary star systems show long-term variations in theirorbital periods, evident in their O-C (observed minus calculated period)diagrams. With data from the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment(ROTSE-I) compiled in the SkyDOT database, New Mexico State University 1m data, and recent American Association of Variable Star Observers(AAVSO) data, we revisit Borkovits and Hegedüs's best-casecandidates for third-body effects in eclipsing binaries: AB And, TV Cas,XX Cep, and AK Her. We also examine the possibility of a third bodyorbiting Y Cam. Our new data support their suggestion that a third bodyis present in all systems except AK Her, as is revealed by thesinusoidal variations of the O-C residuals. Our new data suggest that athird body alone cannot explain the variations seen in the O-C residualsof AK Her. We also provide a table of 143 eclipsing binary systems thathave historical AAVSO O-C data with new values computed from the SkyDOTdatabase.

Orbital period investigations of two short-period early-type overcontact binaries BH Cen and V701 Sco in two extremely young galactic clusters IC 2944 and NGC 6383
Both V701 Sco and BH Cen are two early-type short-period overcontactsystems (P = 0.d762 and P = 0.d792, respectively).V701 Sco is a member of the young galactic cluster NGC 6383, while BHCen is a component of a younger galactic cluster IC 2944 where starformation is in process. They provide good opportunity to understand theformation and evolution of binary stars. In the present paper, orbitalperiod changes of the two binaries are investigated. It is discoveredthat the orbital period of BH Cen shows a long-term increase with a rateof dP/dt = +1.70(±0.39) × 10‑7 days/yearwhile it undergoes a cyclic oscillation with a period of 44.6 years andan amplitude of A3 = 0.d0216. For V701 Sco, itsO-C curve reveals a periodic change with a period of 41.2 years andamplitude of A3 = 0.d0158. The mass ratio of BHCen is 0.84, but V701 Sco contains twin B1-1.5V type stars with a massratio of unit. The continuous period increase of BH Cen is caused by themass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive one ata rate of dM2/dt = 3.5 × 10‑6days/year. The cyclic period changes of both systems can be plausiblyexplained as the results of light-travel time effects suggesting thatthey are triple systems. The astrophysical parameters of the unseentertiary components in the two systems have been determined. We thinkthat the invisible tertiary components in both binaries played animportant role in the formations and evolutions of the overcontactconfigurations by bringing angular momentum out from the centralsystems. For BH Cen, this process created the initial short period andwill support its evolution into an overcontact configuration via a CaseA mass transfer within the life time of the extremely young cluster IC2944. For V701 Sco, two identical zero-age main-sequence components inan overcontact configuration suggest that it may have been formed byfission, possibly by the fission of the third body. The fact that nolong-term continuous period variations were found for V701 Sco maysuggest that an overcontact binary with the mass ratio of unity can bein an equilibrium revealing that the original configuration of thebinary was overcontact as is its present state. It has been reportedthat faint stars in the two extremely young clusters are relativelyscare. From the present study, it is shown that faint stars in youngclusters are usually formed as companions of OB stars (includingbinaries). It is very difficult to detect them because of their lowluminosity when compared with the more luminous OB stars.

Radial Velocity Studies of Close Binary Stars. XI.
Radial-velocity measurements and sine-curve fits to orbital radialvelocity variations are presented for 10 close binary systems: DU Boo,ET Boo, TX Cnc, V1073 Cyg, HL Dra, AK Her, VW LMi, V566 Oph, TV UMi, andAG Vir. With this contribution, the David Dunlap Observatory program hasreached the point of 100 published radial velocity orbits. The radialvelocities have been determined using an improved fitting technique thatuses rotational profiles to approximate individual peaks in broadeningfunctions. Three systems, ET Boo, VW LMi, and TV UMi, are found to bequadruple, while AG Vir appears to be a spectroscopic triple. ET Boo, amember of a close visual binary with Pvis=113 yr, waspreviously known to be a multiple system, but we show that the secondcomponent is actually a close, noneclipsing binary. The new observationshave enabled us to determine the spectroscopic orbits of the companion,noneclipsing pairs in ET Boo and VW LMi. A particularly interesting caseis VW LMi, for which the period of the mutual revolution of the twospectroscopic binaries is only 355 days. While most of the studiedeclipsing pairs are contact binaries, ET Boo is composed of twodouble-lined detached binaries, and HL Dra is a single-lined detached orsemidetached system. Five systems of this group have been observedspectroscopically before: TX Cnc, V1073 Cyg, AK Her (as a single-linedbinary), V566 Oph, and AG Vir, but our new data are of much higherquality than in the previous studies.Based on data obtained at the David Dunlap Observatory, University ofToronto, Canada.

Deep, Low Mass Ratio Overcontact Binary Systems. VI. AH Cancri in the Old Open Cluster M67
CCD photometric light curves in the B and V bands obtained in 2001 andin the V band obtained in 2002 of AH Cnc in the old open cluster M67 arepresented. It is shown that AH Cnc is a total-eclipsing binary and itslight curves correspond to a typical A type according to Binnendijk'sclassification. The variations of the light curve around the primaryminimum and second maximum were found. Our nine epochs of light minimummonitored from 2001 to 2005, including others collected from theliterature, were used to create the first study of the period changes ofthe binary system. A cyclic oscillation with a period of 36.5 yr and anamplitude of 0.0237 days was discovered to be superposed on a continuousperiod increase (dP/dt=3.99×10-7 days yr-1).Weak evidence indicates that there exists another small-amplitude periodoscillation (A4=0.0035 days, P4=7.75 yr). Thesymmetric light curves in the B and V bands obtained in 2001 wereanalyzed with the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney code. It isconfirmed that AH Cnc is a deep overcontact binary system with a highdegree of overcontact f=58.5%+/-4.5% and a low mass ratio ofq=0.1682+/-0.0012. The existence of the third light and the cyclicperiod oscillation both may suggest that AH Cnc is a triple systemcontaining an unseen third body. The tertiary component may have playedan important role in the origin of the overcontact binary star byremoving angular momentum from the central system, which would cause itto have a short initial orbital period and thus evolve into anovercontact configuration by angular momentum loss. The long-term periodincrease can be interpreted as a mass transfer from the less massivecomponent to the more massive one. As the orbital period increases, thedecrease of the mass ratio will cause it finally to evolve into a singlerapid-rotating star when the system meets the more familiar criterionthat the orbital angular momentum be less than 3 times the total spinangular momentum. Therefore, AH Cnc may be a progenitor of the bluestraggler stars in M67.

Contact Binaries with Additional Components. I. The Extant Data
We have attempted to establish observational evidence for the presenceof distant companions that may have acquired and/or absorbed angularmomentum during the evolution of multiple systems, thus facilitating orenabling the formation of contact binaries. In this preliminaryinvestigation we use several techniques (some of themdistance-independent) and mostly disregard the detection biases ofindividual techniques in an attempt to establish a lower limit to thefrequency of triple systems. While the whole sample of 151 contactbinary stars brighter than Vmax=10 mag gives a firm lowerlimit of 42%+/-5%, the corresponding number for the much better observednorthern-sky subsample is 59%+/-8%. These estimates indicate that mostcontact binary stars exist in multiple systems.

V781 Tauri: a W Ursae Majoris binary with decreasing period
We analyze light curves of the W UMa type eclipsing binary V781 Taurifrom three epochs and radial velocity curves from two epochssimultaneously, including previously unpublished B and V data. Theoverall time span is from 1983 to 2000 and the solution is donecoherently in time (not phase) with five light curves and two sets ofprimary and secondary velocity curves. Minor systematic differencesamong the individual light curves are not large enough to undermine thevalue of a coherent solution that represents 18 years of observations.Times of minima confirm a period of 0.34491d and the general solutionfinds a small period change, dP/P, of(5.08±{04})×10-11 that represents recentbehavior. The eclipse timings cover the last half-century and find dP/Pabout four times smaller, corresponding to a period change time scale,P/(dP/dt) of about 6 million years. The system is over-contact with afilling factor of 0.205. The solution produces a temperature differenceof about 260 K between the components, an inclination of 65.9dg, and amass ratio M_2/M_1=2.47. Separate solutions of the several light curvesthat incorporate dark spots find parameters that differ little fromcurve to curve. Absolute masses, luminosities, radii and the distanceare derived, with luminosities and distance based on star 1 being oftype G0V. The orbital angular momentum is compared with those of other WUMa type binaries and is normal. The star to star mass flow that one caninfer from dP/dt is opposite to that expected from TRO (ThermalRelaxation Oscillator) theory, but pertains to a time span that is veryshort compared to the time scale of TRO oscillations.

Indirect evidence for short period magnetic cycles in W UMa stars. Period analysis of five overcontact systems.
Complex period variations of five W UMa type binaries (ABAnd, OO Aql, DK Cyg,V566 Oph, U Peg) were investigatedby analyzing their O-C diagrams, and several common features were found.Four of the five systems show secular period variations at a constantrate on the order of |dot{P}sec/P|˜10-7yr-1. In the case of AB And, OOAql, and U Peg a high-amplitude, nearlyone-century long quasi-sinusoidal pattern was also found. It might beexplained as light-time effect, or by some magnetic phenomena, althoughthe mathematical, and consequently the physical, parameters of thesefits are very problematic, as the obtained periods are very close to thelength of the total data range. The most interesting feature of thestudied O-C diagrams is a low amplitude ( 2-4×10-3 d)modulation with a period around 18-20 yr in four of the five cases. Thisphenomenon might be indirect evidence of some magnetic cycle inlate-type overcontact binaries as an analog to the observed activitycycles in RS CVn systems.

Deep, Low Mass Ratio Overcontact Binaries. II. IK Persei
BV photometric light curves of the eclipsing binary IK Per were obtainedduring three nights in 2002 December. The photometric elements werecomputed using the Wilson-Devinney code. The results reveal that IK Peris an A-type overcontact binary system with a low mass ratio of q=0.17and a large degree of overcontact of 60%. The asymmetry of the lightcurves (i.e., the O'Connell effect) is explained by spot models. Theobserved long-term orbital period decrease[dP/dt=-(2.5+/-0.09)×10-7 days yr-1] isprobably influenced by the presence of a third body in the system. Thelow mass ratio, high degree of overcontact, and secular orbital decreaseall indicate that the situation of IK Per resembles those of FG Hya, GRVir, and AW UMa. Because of the decrease of their orbital periods, theshrinking of the inner and outer critical Roche lobes will lead thecommon envelopes to overlap more, and finally the systems will evolveinto single rapid-rotation stars.

Kinematics of W Ursae Majoris type binaries and evidence of the two types of formation
We study the kinematics of 129 W UMa binaries and we discuss itsimplications on the contact binary evolution. The sample is found to beheterogeneous in the velocity space. That is, kinematically younger andolder contact binaries exist in the sample. A kinematically young (0.5Gyr) subsample (moving group) is formed by selecting the systems thatsatisfy the kinematical criteria of moving groups. After removing thepossible moving group members and the systems that are known to bemembers of open clusters, the rest of the sample is called the fieldcontact binary (FCB) group. The FCB group is further divided into fourgroups according to the orbital period ranges. Then, a correlation isfound in the sense that shorter-period less-massive systems have largervelocity dispersions than the longer-period more-massive systems.Dispersions in the velocity space indicate a 5.47-Gyr kinematical agefor the FCB group. Compared with the field chromospherically activebinaries (CABs), presumably detached binary progenitors of the contactsystems, the FCB group appears to be 1.61 Gyr older. Assuming anequilibrium in the formation and destruction of CAB and W UMa systems inthe Galaxy, this age difference is treated as an empirically deducedlifetime of the contact stage. Because the kinematical ages (3.21, 3.51,7.14 and 8.89 Gyr) of the four subgroups of the FCB group are muchlonger than the 1.61-Gyr lifetime of the contact stage, the pre-contactstages of the FCB group must dominantly be producing the largedispersions. The kinematically young (0.5 Gyr) moving group covers thesame total mass, period and spectral ranges as the FCB group. However,the very young age of this group does not leave enough room forpre-contact stages, and thus it is most likely that these systems wereformed in the beginning of the main sequence or during thepre-main-sequence contraction phase, either by a fission process or mostprobably by fast spiralling in of two components in a common envelope.

On the properties of contact binary stars
We have compiled a catalogue of light curve solutions of contact binarystars. It contains the results of 159 light curve solutions. Theproperties of contact binary stars were studied using the cataloguedata. As is well known since Lucy's (\cite{Lucy68a},b) and Mochnacki's(\cite{Mochnacki81}) studies, primary components transfer their ownenergy to the secondary star via the common envelope around the twostars. This transfer was parameterized by a transfer parameter (ratio ofthe observed and intrinsic luminosities of the primary star). We provethat this transfer parameter is a simple function of the mass andluminosity ratios. We introduced a new type of contact binary stars: Hsubtype systems which have a large mass ratio (q>0.72). These systemsshow behaviour in the luminosity ratio- transfer parameter diagram thatis very different from that of other systems and according to ourresults the energy transfer rate is less efficient in them than in othertypes of contact binary stars. We also show that different types ofcontact binaries have well defined locations on the mass ratio -luminosity ratio diagram. Several contact binary systems do not followLucy's relation (L2/L1 =(M2/M1)0.92). No strict mass ratio -luminosity ratio relation of contact binary stars exists.Tables 2 and 3 are available in electronic form athttp://www.edpsciences.org

Orbital period study of AK Her
Orbital period changes of the contact binary AK Her are discussed. The(O-C) diagram constructed using all available photoelectric, CCD,photographic and visual minima times including new photoelectric minimatimes determined from our U,B,V observations taken in 1982 and 2003, canbe explained by a long-term orbital period increase modulated by alight-time effect. The period increase is caused either by a masstransfer from the less to more massive component of the binary or by alight-time effect on a very long period orbit. The low-mass third bodypresent in the system is responsible for the 57.2-year light-timeeffect. A Fourier period analysis of the residuals from the fit revealedthe 17.7-year period probably caused by a spot activity cycle.

Period and Light-Curve Changes in AP Leonis
We present a detailed study of the period and light curve of theeclipsing binary AP Leo. We have investigated the period variation ofthe system in detail using a method proposed by Kalimeris et al.(1994a,b; AAA 061.117.039, AAA 062.117.142). The orbital period of thesystem exhibits a periodic variation which contains four components withdifferent frequencies. Our result is very different from that of otherinvestigators. We compared light curves obtained by other groups, andfound that the light curve of the system has changed considerably. Basedon an analysis, we investigated the physical mechanisms which mayunderlie the variations of the period and the light curve, and obtainedsome new results. We have concluded that the rapid light variation isprobably caused by a pulsation of the common envelope, and that themechanism causing the pulsation may be mass transfer between the twocomponents, or its variation. In addition, we have found that the masstransfer and magnetic activity may simultaneously play an important rolein the variations in the orbital period and the light curve of thesystem. The paper concludes with a discussion of the evolution of thesystem.
