BSN-Project
About Project
Project name: Binary Systems of South and North (BSN-Project)Selecting binary systems:
- W UMa binary system type.
- Range greater than 0.2 magnitudes (easier for inexperienced observers to record useful data)
- Period less than 0.4 day (so full the light curve can be recorded in a few nights)
- Brighter than V magnitude 13 at minimum.
- Observing in more than 2 filters. Especially V and B bands.
- Select systems whose light curves have not yet been studied or have been studied in the far years ago.
Project aims:
- Times of Minimum to refine period (VSS already has a project on southern eclipsing binaries with this aim, results published annually).
- Full light curves in one or more filters for light curve modelling.
- O-C diagram to look for apsidal motion, period change, third bodies, etc. (this would require repeated observations over many years).
- Understudied or newly discovered eclipsing binaries (surveys such as ASAS, ASAS-SN, SWASP, etc. have discovered many EB’s that should be observed to confirm the type, period, etc.).
- Publishing one or more joint papers.
