VR light curves of CK Boo

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present precision CCD photometry, a period study, and a two-color simultaneous Wilson code solution of the short-period contact binary CK Bootis.

Description

The asymmetric light curves were modeled by a dark spot on the primary component. The result identifies that CK Boo is an A-type W UMa binary with a high fillout of f=71.7(+/-4.4)%.

From the O-C curve, it is found that the orbital period changes in a complicated mode, i.e., a long-term increase with two sinusoidal variations. One cyclic oscillation with a period of 10.67(+/-0.20)yr may result from magnetic activity cycles, which are identified by the variability of Max. I-Max.

II. Another sinusoidal variation (i.e., A=0.0131days(+/-0.0009days) and P3=24.16(+/-0.64)yr) may be attributed to the light-time effect due to a third body. This kind of additional companion can extract angular momentum from the central binary system.

The orbital period secularly increases at a rate of dP/dt=+9.79(+/-0.80)*10^-8days/yr, which may be interpreted by conservative mass transfer from the secondary to the primary. This kind of deep, low-mass ratio overcontact binaries may evolve into a rapid-rotating single star, only if the contact configuration do not break down at J_spin_>(1/3)J_orb_.
