UBVRI light curves of TU Boo

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present multicolor light curves for the W UMa-type eclipsing binary TU Boo for two epochs separated by 22 years.

Description

An analysis of the O-C diagram indicates the earlier observations took place right in the middle of a major period change, thus allowing for a unique study on mass transfer and period changes in this W UMa-type system. We compute model fits to our light curves, along with the only other published set, using the Wilson-Devinney program, and find temporally correlated changes in the size of the secondary component with anomalies in the O-C diagram.

We investigate the cause of these changes and find support for the existence of rapid, large-scale mass transfer between the components.
