KN Per BVRcIc light curves

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Photometric analysis and spectroscopic study of the long-period low-mass-ratio deep-contact binary KN Per were performed.

Description

The light curves of the BV(RI)_c_ band were from the Ningbo Bureau of Education and Xinjiang Observatory Telescope at the Xingming Observatory. Through the analysis of the Wilson-Devinney program, KN Per was found as an A-type low-mass-ratio deep-contact binary (q=0.236; f=53.4%).

A cool spot applied on the primary component was introduced to explain the unequal maxima of the light curve. Based on the O-C analysis, we found that the rate of the increasing orbital period is dP/dt=5.12+/-(0.30)x10^-7^day/yr, meaning the mass transfer from the secondary component to the primary one. By analyzing the spectroscopic data, we detected chromospheric activity emission line indicators, which correspond to the light-curve analysis.

Seventy-one long-period (P>0.5 day) contact binaries, including our target, were collected. The evolutionary states of all collected stars were investigated by the illustrations of mass-radius, mass-luminosity, and log M_T_-logJ_o_. The relations of some physical parameters were also determined.

With the instability parameters of KN Per, we determined that it is a stable contact binary system at present.
