Low Mass Contact Binaries: Orbital Stability at Extreme Low Mass Ratios

Surjit S. Wadhwa, Natalia R. Landin, Bojan Arbutina +5

With the ever-increasing number of light curve solutions of contact binary systems increasing number of potential bright red nova progenitors are being reported. There remains, how…

Effects of Metallicity on the Instability Mass Ratio of Low Mass Contact Binary Systems

Surjit S. Wadhwa, Natalia R. Landin, Petar Kostic +7

The orbital stability of contact binary systems has been receiving considerable attention recently. Theoretical studies indicate that merger is likely to occur at very low mass rat…

Photometric and Spectroscopic Study of Two Low Mass Ratio Contact Binary Systems: CRTS J225828.7-121122 and CRTS J030053.5+230139

Surjit S. Wadhwa, Jelena Petrovic, Nick F. H. Tothill +3

The study reports photometric and spectroscopic observations of two recently recognised contact binary systems. Both systems show total eclipses and analysis of the light curves in…

A Study of Twelve Potential Merger Candidate Contact Binary Systems

Surjit S. Wadhwa, Bojan Arbutina, Nick F. H. Tothill +4

Photometric observations and analysis of twelve previously poorly studied contact binary systems is presented. All show total eclipses and have extremely low mass ratios ranging fr…

Simplified Method for the Identification of Low Mass Ratio Contact Binary Systems that are Potential Red Nova Progenitors

Surjit S. Wadhwa, Ain Y. De Horta, Miroslav D. Filipovic +4

The study presents a simplified method to identify potential bright red nova progenitors based on the amplitude of the light curve and infrared (J-H) colour of a contact binary sys…

Photometric Analysis of Three Potential Red Nova Progenitors

Surjit S. Wadhwa, Ain De Horta, Miroslav D. Filipovic +4

We present photometric analysis of three bright red nova progenitor contact binary systems: ASAS J082151-0612.6, TYC 7281-269-1 and TYC 7275-1968-1. The primary components in all t…
