Efficiency of mass transfer in massive close binaries, Tests from double-lined eclipsing binaries in the SMC
S. E. de Mink, O. R. Pols, R. W. Hilditch
One of the major uncertainties in close binary evolution is the efficiency of mass transfer beta: the fraction of transferred mass that is accreted by a secondary star. We attempt…
First Determination of the Distance and Fundamental Properties of an Eclipsing Binary in The Andromeda Galaxy
Ignasi Ribas, Carme Jordi, Francesc Vilardell +3
We present the first detailed spectroscopic and photometric analysis of an eclipsing binary in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). This is a 19.3-mag semi-detached system with components o…
New VI photometry of the sdOB binary AA Dor and an improved photometric model
R. W. Hilditch, D. Kilkenny, A. E. Lynas-Gray +1
New VI CCD photometry, obtained with integration times of 20s, of the sdOB+degenerate-dwarf eclipsing binary system AA Dor has provided new complete light curves with an rms scatte…
Ten eclipsing binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud: fundamental parameters and SMC distance
Tim J. Harries, Ron W. Hilditch, Ian D. Howarth
We present the first results of an observational programme to measure the fundamental parameters of over 100 eclipsing binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The spectroscop…
