BV(RI)c light curves of FF Vul

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

High-precision BVR_c_I_c_ light curves of FF Vul were taken during the fall of 2015 with the Dark Sky Observatory 0.81m reflector of Appalachian State University, and the SARA north 0.91m reflector at KPNO.

Description

FF Vul is an eclipsing binary with a period of 0.44 day. A Wilson-Devinney solution shows that the binary is a near-contact, semidetached binary, i.e., with a V1010 Oph-type configuration.

Five eclipse timings (three primary and two secondary) were calculated. A quadratic ephemeris was determined indicating that the period is decreasing. A near-equatorial hot spot was modeled on the cooler, secondary star, possibly caused by matter impacting from the primary component via the inner Lagrangian point.

The component temperature difference is more than 1500K. The solution confirms a total secondary eclipse of 23 minutes duration. As expected in binaries of this type, there is a magnetic spot region.
