An Equipotential Disk Model with Irradiation for Nova-like Variables Open
The reflection effect is here incorporated within an earlier analytic binary system light- and velocity-curve model that includes a circumstellar equipotential disk. The modeled disk is semitransparent, to explore the attenuation and reemi…

On Variation Mechanisms in Recurrent Nova IM Normae Open
Light curves by Woudt and Warner (WW) of recurrent nova IM Nor show eclipse-like dips that they saw as too wide for eclipses alone, and interpreted as mainly a reflection effect due to irradiation of the companion (mass donor) star with so…

Close Binary Perspectives Open
Development of analytic binary star models is discussed in historical and on-going perspective, beginning with an overview of paradigm shifts, the merits of direct (rectification-free) models, and fundamental four-type binary system morpho…

Binary star analysis with intrinsic pulsation Open
Strategies are introduced for coherent measurement of pulsational waveforms, amplitudes, periods, and period change rates, where 'coherent' means that the model stars indeed pulsate, with no artificial alternation between pulsation without…

Self-gravitating Semi-transparent Circumstellar Disks: An Analytic Model Open
An accretion–decretion ( A – D ) circumstellar disk model, suitable for analysis of light and radial velocity (RV) curves, is developed for application to double contact binaries. A foundational hypothesis is that systems as different as c…

THE M DWARF ECLIPSING BINARY CU CANCRI Open
Spectral features, radial velocities, elemental abundance estimates, other spectral data, and BVI C light curves are reported for the double-M dwarf eclipsing binary CU Cancri—a good target for a radius check versus the Zero Age Main Seque…
