dc.description.abstract |
In this thesis, I present the modeling of select short period eclipsing binary
star systems in the southern hemisphere. Each eclipsing binary candidate was chosen
from the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS), which is an all-sky survey that performed
photometric monitoring of stars brighter than 14th magnitude in the Johnson V band. This
survey has catalogued over ten thousand eclipsing binary candidates. Due to the vast
number of these candidates, few have been extensively studied. Because of the large area
(all-sky) coverage of the ASAS, time resolution of individual systems is poor (~24
hours). I have selected eclipsing binary candidates with orbital periods ranging from 6 to
7 hours and magnitudes between 12th and 13th in the Johnson V band. By focusing on
these individual systems, I am able to provide better time resolution that will compliment
the survey. The candidates were observed using the Southeastern Association for
Research in Astronomy (SARA) telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American
Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. |
