Vivekananda Rao Dept. of Astronomy Osmania University Hyderabad Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Stars, The Milky Way Galaxy and its neighbours Abstract : Contact binaries are important astrophysical sources as they help to understand the underlying mechanism of merging process (eg. V 1309 Sco; Tylenda et al. 2011), stellar dynamo process (Qian et al. 2005), contributing for the understanding of galactic structure, due to their high number density (1/500 MS stars; Rucinski 2002), binary evolution theories (Yakut & Eggelton 2005) and also serve as distance estimators (Rucinski & Duerbeck 1997). We present the CCD photometric study of a contact binary KP 301148 using IGO 2.0m telescope In V passband. The light curve is modeled using the WD code version 2013. The various parameters are determined and the evolutionary status is discussed. |
