Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Variation of the Light and Period of the Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable Am Her(IOP Publishing, 2008) Kalomeni, Belinda; Yakut, KadriGround-based, long-term optic variability of AM Her, covering the period between 2003-2008, has been conducted to study the features seen in both low and high states of the system. Low-state analysis shows the presence of short-term, low-amplitude light variations of about 0.02-0.03 mag with a mean power time between 16 s and 226 s. Brightness variations on the order of 0.7-2 mag, which could be due to the stellar activity of the component in the system, are also detected. A total of 30 years' times of minimum light given in the literature are combined with nine times of minima obtained in this study. We represented the (observed-calculated) diagram by a parabolic curve and also by two broken lines. Under the assumption of a parabolic variation, we estimate an increase in period, dP/dt = 7.5(1.2) x 10(-9) days yr(-1), with a mass transfer rate of. M = 8(2) x 10(-9) M(circle dot) yr(-1), in agreement with the previous findings by a different method.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Short and Long Time-Scale Variability in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables: Long-Term Monitoring of Polars(Oxford University Press, 2012) Kalomeni, BelindaWe present long-term observations of the magnetic cataclysmic variables AM Her, AN UMa, AR UMa, DP Leo and V1309 Ori. Analyses of both short- and long-period light variations are presented. For the first time, as far as we know, long-period variations of AN UMa and AR UMa have been studied and multiple frequencies obtained. Fourier analysis indicates 170-, 218- and 180-d variations for AM Her, AN UMa and AR UMa, respectively. These periodicities may be due to modulation of the mass-transfer rate resulting from magnetic cycles in the secondary stars. In addition, we collect the physical parameters of polars from the literature and estimate their mass-transfer rates and orbital period variation and give a rough estimation of the donor magnetic fields.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Mode Identification in the High-Amplitude {\delta} Scuti Star V2367 Cyg(Oxford University Press, 2013) Ulusoy, Ceren; Gülmez, T.; Stateva, I.; Dimitrov, D.; Iliev, I. Kh.; Kobulnicky, H. A.; Yaşarsoy, B.; Alvarez, M.; Michel, R.; Fox Machado, L.; Damasso, M.; Carbognani, A.; Cenadelli, D.; Pickering, T. E.; Kwon, J.; Tamura, M.; Balona, L. A.We report on a multisite photometric campaign on the high-amplitude delta Scuti star V2367 Cyg in order to determine the pulsation modes. We also used high-dispersion spectroscopy to estimate the stellar parameters and projected rotational velocity. Time series multicolour photometry was obtained during a 98-d interval from five different sites. These data were used together with model atmospheres and non-adiabatic pulsation models to identify the spherical harmonic degree of the three independent frequencies of highest amplitude as well as the first two harmonics of the dominant mode. This was accomplished by matching the observed relative light amplitudes and phases in different wavebands with those computed by the models. In general, our results support the assumed mode identifications in a previous analysis of Kepler data. © 2012 The Authors Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 147Citation - Scopus: 147Triple-Star Candidates Among the Kepler Binaries(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2013) Rappaport, S.; Deck, K.; Levine, A.; Borkovits, T.; Carter, J.; El Mellah, I.; Sanchis-Ojeda, R.; Kalomeni, BelindaWe present the results of a search through the photometric database of Kepler eclipsing binaries looking for evidence of hierarchical triple-star systems. The presence of a third star orbiting the binary can be inferred from eclipse timing variations. We apply a simple algorithm in an automated determination of the eclipse times for all 2157 binaries. The "calculated" eclipse times, based on a constant period model, are subtracted from those observed. The resulting O-C (observed minus calculated times) curves are then visually inspected for periodicities in order to find triple-star candidates. After eliminating false positives due to the beat frequency between the ∼1/2 hr Kepler cadence and the binary period, 39 candidate triple systems were identified. The periodic O-C curves for these candidates were then fit for contributions from both the classical Roemer delay and so-called physical delay, in an attempt to extract a number of the system parameters of the triple. We discuss the limitations of the information that can be inferred from these O-C curves without further supplemental input, e.g., ground-based spectroscopy. Based on the limited range of orbital periods for the triple-star systems to which this search is sensitive, we can extrapolate to estimate that at least 20% of all close binaries have tertiary companions. © 2013.

Modelling of the system shows that the primary is filling Roche lobe and the secondary of the system is almost filling its Roche lobe. The physical parameters of the system are M1 = 3.0 ± 0.2M ⊙, M2 = 1.3 ± 0.1M⊙, R 1 = 2.50 ± 0.12R⊙, R2 = 1.75 ± 0.09R⊙, L1 = 64 ± 9L ⊙, L2 = 4.9 ± 0.7L⊙, and a = 5.5 ± 0.3R⊙. Our results show that GO Cyg is the most massive system near contact binary (NCB). Analysis of times of the minima shows a sinusoidal variation with a period of 92.3 ± 0.5 yr due to a third body whose mass is less than 2.3M⊙. Finally a period variation rate of -1.4 × 10-9 d/yr has been determined using all available light curves.Article Citation - WoS: 91Citation - Scopus: 88The Anticorrelated Nature of the Primary and Secondary Eclipse Timing Variations for the Kepler Contact Binaries(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2013) Tran, K.; Levine, A.; Rappaport, S.; Borkovits, T.; Csizmadia, Sz.; Kalomeni, BelindaWe report a study of the eclipse timing variations in contact binary systems, using long-cadence lightcurves from the Kepler archive. As a first step, observed minus calculated (O-C) curves were produced for both the primary and secondary eclipses of some 2000 Kepler binaries. We find ∼390 short-period binaries with O-C curves that exhibit (1) random walk-like variations or quasi-periodicities, with typical amplitudes of ±200-300 s, and (2) anticorrelations between the primary and secondary eclipse timing variations. We present a detailed analysis and results for 32 of these binaries with orbital periods in the range of 0.35 ± 0.05 days. The anticorrelations observed in their O-C curves cannot be explained by a model involving mass transfer, which, among other things, requires implausibly high rates of ∼0.01 MȮ yr-1. We show that the anticorrelated behavior, the amplitude of the O-C delays, and the overall random walk-like behavior can be explained by the presence of a starspot that is continuously visible around the orbit and slowly changes its longitude on timescales of weeks to months. The quasi-periods of ∼50-200 days observed in the O-C curves suggest values for k, the coefficient of the latitude dependence of the stellar differential rotation, of ∼0.003-0.013.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 32The Short-Period Low-Mass Binary System Cc Com Revisited(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Köse, O; Kalomeni, Belinda; Keskin, Varol; Ulaş, Burak; Yakut, KadriIn this study we determined precise orbital and physical parameters of the very short-period low-mass contact binary system CC Com. The parameters are obtained by analysis of new CCD data combined with archival spectroscopic data. The physical parameters of the cool and hot components are derived as Mc = 0.717(14) M⊙, Mh = 0.378(8) M⊙, Rc = 0.708(12) R⊙, Rh = 0.530(10) R⊙, Lc = 0.138(12) L⊙, and Lh = 0.085(7) L⊙, respectively, and the distance of the system is estimated as 64(4) pc. The times of minima obtained in this study and with those published before enable us to calculate the mass transfer rate between the components which is 1.6 × 10-8 M⊙ yr-1. Finally, we discuss the possible evolutionary scenario of CC Com.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Long-Term Monitoring of Polars(Cambridge University Press, 2011) Kalomeni, BelindaWe present long-term observations of magnetic cataclysmic variables AM Her, AN UMa, AR UMa, DP Leo, and V1309 Ori obtained with the ROTSEIIId telescope. All data have been analysed and preliminary results indicate periods of 170 days, 217 days, and 180 days for AM Her, AN UMa, and AR UMa, respectively. © International Astronomical Union 2012.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 8Marginally Low Mass Ratio Close Binary System V1191 Cyg(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Ulaş, B.; Kalomeni, Belinda; Keskin, Varol; Köse, O.; Yakut, KadriIn this study, we present photometric and spectroscopic variations of the extremely small mass ratio (q ≃ 0.1) late-type contact binary system V1191 Cyg. The parameters for the hot and cooler companions have been determined as Mh = 0.13 (1) M⊙, Mc = 1.29 (8) M ⊙, Rh = 0.52 (15) R⊙, Rc = 1.31 (18) R⊙, Lh = 0.46 (25) L⊙, Lc = 2.71 (80) L⊙, the separation of the components is a = 2.20 (8) R⊙ and the distance of the system is estimated as 278 (31) pc. Analyses of the times of minima indicates a period increase of dPdt=1.3(1)×10-6days/yr that reveals a very high mass transfer rate of dMdt=2.0(4)×10-7M⊙/yr from the less massive component to the more massive one. New observations show that the depths of the minima of the light curve have been interchanged. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

About 3600 frames spread over 28 nights were obtained with the 1.5 m Russian-Turkish and 1.2 m Mercator telescopes. High-precision observations of the close binary stars AH Cnc, EV Cnc, ES Cnc, the δ Scuti type systems EX Cnc and EW Cnc, and some long-period variables belonging to M67 are presented. Three full multi-colour light curves of the overcontact binary AH Cnc were obtained during three observing seasons. Likewise we gathered three light curves of EV Cnc, an EB-type binary, and two light curves of ES Cnc, a blue straggler binary. Parts of the light change of long-term variables S1024, S1040, S1045, S1063, S1242, and S1264 are obtained. Period variation analysis of AH Cnc, EV Cnc, and ES Cnc were done using all times of mid-eclipse available in the literature and those obtained in this study. In addition, we analyzed multi-colour light curves of the close binaries and also determined new frequencies for the δ Scuti systems. The physical parameters of the close binary stars were determined with simultaneous solutions of multicolour light and radial velocity curves. Finally we determined the distance of M67 as 857(33) pc via binary star parameters, which is consistent with an independent method from earlier studies.
