Apsidal motion in southern eccentric eclipsing binaries: GL Car, QX Car, NO Pup and V366 Pup
The study of apsidal motion in eccentric eclipsing binaries (EEB)provides an important observational test of theoretical models ofstellar structure and evolution. The Southern hemisphere contains manyinteresting and also neglected binary systems. New accuratephotoelectric times of minimum light have been obtained for the detachedearly-type Southern hemisphere EEB GL Car (P = 2.42d,e = 0.15), QX Car(4.48d, 0.15), NO Pup (1.26d, 0.13) and V366 Pup (2.48d, 0.47). The O-Cdiagrams are analysed using all reliable timings found in the literatureand improved or new values for the elements of the apsidal motion arecomputed. We find more precise, relatively short periods of apsidalmotion of about 25.2, 362, 38.3 and 285yr and corresponding internalstructure constants, log k2, -1.88, -2.08, -2.32 and -2.38for GL Car, QX Car, NO Pup and V366 Pup, respectively, with theassumption that the component stars rotate pseudo-synchronously. Therelativistic effects are small, being about 3-12 per cent of the totalapsidal motion rate in all systems.Based on observations made at the South Africa Astronomical Observatory,Sutherland, South Africa and Mt John University Observatory, Universityof Canterbury, Lake Tekapo, New Zealand.E-mail: wolf@cesnet.cz
| A new catalogue of eclipsing binary stars with eccentric orbits
A new catalogue of eclipsing binary stars with eccentric orbits ispresented. The catalogue lists the physical parameters (includingapsidal motion parameters) of 124 eclipsing binaries with eccentricorbits. In addition, the catalogue also contains a list of 150 candidatesystems, about which not much is known at present.Full version of the catalogue is available online (see the SupplementaryMaterial section at the end of this paper) and in electronic form at theCDS via http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/MNRAS/(vol)/ (page)E-mail: ibulut@comu.edu.tr
| A catalogue of eclipsing variables
A new catalogue of 6330 eclipsing variable stars is presented. Thecatalogue was developed from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars(GCVS) and its textual remarks by including recently publishedinformation about classification of 843 systems and making correspondingcorrections of GCVS data. The catalogue1 represents thelargest list of eclipsing binaries classified from observations.
