The Close Binary V486 Carinae

Ahmet Erdem, Volkan Bakis, Burcu Ozkardes +5

The hitherto neglected close binary V486 Car is studied with the aid of newly applied satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and TESS), high dispersion spectrometry (HERCULES) and ground-…

Absolute Parameters of Young Stars: NO Puppis

Ahmet Erdem, Volkan Bakış, John Southworth +6

The southern early-type, young, eccentric-orbit eclipsing binary NO Puppis forms the A component of the multiple star Gaia DR3 552\-8147999779517568. The B component is an astromet…

Comparative study of the W UMa type binaries S Ant and Epsilon CrA

Volkan Bakis, Edwin Budding, Ahmet Erdem +6

Contact binaries challenge contemporary stellar astrophysics with respect to their incidence, structure and evolution. We explore these issues through a detailed study of two brigh…

The enigmatic multiple star VV Ori

Edwin Budding, John Southworth, Kresimir Pavlovski +6

New photometry, including TESS data, have been combined with recent spectroscopic observations of the Orion Ib pulsating triple-star system VV Ori. This yields a revised set of abs…

Markov Chain Monte Carlo applied to the Double Stars of Miller and Pitman

Maksym Ersteniuk, Timothy Banks, Edwin Budding +1

Model orbits have been fitted to 27 physical double stars listed in a 1922 catalogue. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique was applied to estimate best fitting values and associate…

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Optimization applied to Dyson's Visual Double Stars

Isabella Soh Xiao Si, Michael D. Rhodes, Edwin Budding +1

Estimates of orbital parameters were made using a Bayesian optimization technique on astrometric data for 25 visual binary systems catalogued a century ago by the ninth Astronomer…

V410 Puppis: A useful laboratory for early stellar evolution

Ahmet Erdem, Derya Surgit, Burcu Ozkardes +6

New spectrometric (HERCULES) and ground-based multi-colour photometric data on the multiple star V410 Puppis are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and TESS), as well as…

Optimization Applied to Selected Exoplanets

Shi Yuan Ng, Zhou Jiadi, Caglar Puskullu +3

Transit and radial velocity models were applied to archival data in order to examine exoplanet properties, in particular for the recently discovered super-Earth GJ 357b. There is h…

Absolute Parameters of Young Stars: V Puppis

Edwin Budding, Tom Love, Mark G. Blackford +2

New spectrometric data on V Pup are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and recent TESS) to allow a revision of the absolute parameters with increased precision. We find:…

An Update on the Student Exoplanet Programme

T. Banks, M. D. Rhodes, E. Budding

An update is given on the exoplanet research collaboration between Nielsen (a marketing research company), Brigham Young University, and NZ universities with the National Universit…

Exoplanet System Kepler-2 with comparisons to Kepler-1 and 13

Michael D. Rhodes, Caglar Puskullu, Edwin Budding +1

We have carried out an intensive study of photometric (Kepler Mission) and spectroscopic data on the system Kepler-2 (HAT-P-7A) using the dedicated software WinFitter. The mean ind…

Transit modelling of selected Kepler systems

Q. Y. Huang, T. Banks, E. Budding +2

This paper employs a simple model, considering just geometry and linear or quadratic limb darkening, to fit Kepler transit data via a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methodology fo…

An Investigation into Exoplanet Transits and Uncertainties

Yi Ji, Timothy Banks, Edwin Budding +1

A simple transit model is described along with tests of this model against published results for 4 exoplanet systems (Kepler-1, 2, 8, and 77). Data from the Kepler mission are used…

Analysis of the exoplanet containing system Kepler 91

Edwin Budding, Çağlar Püsküllü, Michael D. Rhodes +2

We have applied the graphical user interfaced close binary system analysis program WinFitter to an intensive study of Kepler 91 using all the available photometry from the NASA Exo…

Analysis of selected Kepler Mission planetary light curves

M. D. Rhodes, E. Budding

We have modified the graphical user interfaced close binary system analysis program CurveFit to the form WinKepler and applied it to 16 representative planetary candidate light cur…
