Statistical structure and physical interpretation of the fillout factor distribution in contact binary stars
A. Poro, K. Li, E. Paki +2
Contact binary systems exhibit complex evolutionary behavior governed by mass transfer, angular momentum loss (AML), and Roche geometry. The fillout factor () is widely used as…

Detailed Investigation of a W UMa Contact Binary with an Ultralow Mass Ratio and a Third-Body as a Potential Merger Candidate
Atila Poro, Ehsan Paki, Fahri Alicavus +1
The lower limit of the mass ratio in contact binaries remains uncertain, with observations suggesting systems exist below theoretical predictions. The stability of such very low ma…
