We present an analysis of the Solar-Type eclipsing binary, TYC 2853-18-1 (Persei), based on observations taken at the National Undergraduate Research Observatory (NURO) and the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA) in the Fall, 2007 and Spring, 2008. Light curves, a period study and a synthetic light curve solution are presented for this variable which was recently discovered by TYCHO as an eclipsing binary (2006, IBVS 5700).
Our CCD observations of TYC 2853-18-1 [GSC 2853 0018, RA(2000) = 02h 47m 07.996s, DEC(2000) = +41° 22’ 32.80"] were taken on 20,27 December, 2007 at Lowell Observatory with the 0.81-m reflector with NURO time and 25 November, 3 December, 2007 and 19 February, 2008 via remote observing from Kitt Peak with SARA. NURO observations were take with the thermoelectrically cooled (<-100C) 2KX2K CCD NASACAM. Standard BVRcIc Johnson-Cousins filters were used. Our light curve solution was calculated with the 2004 Wilson code.
Mean times of eclipse include, HJDMinI = 2454516.6131(±0.0005), 2454440.52974(±0.00008), 2454438.7605 (±0.0001), 2454462.6464 (±0.0003), HJDMinII = 2454455.71985 (±0.00060), 255462.7943 (±0.0002). These, including the epoch by ROTSE (2006, IBVS 5699) and the epoch calculated by the Wilson code, yielded the following ephemeris:
HJD Hel Min I =2451370.8753(±.0.0010)d + 0.2949039 (±0.0000001)E
Our unspotted Wilson code solution reveals TYC 2853-18-1 to be a W-type W UMa contact binary with unequal eclipse depths (amplitudes are 0.72 and 0.61 mags in V). It has shallow contact (8% fill-out) and a brief, but total eclipse. Its curves dictate a mass ratio of 2.62±0.01, a component temperature difference of only 73±5 ° K and an inclination of 82.0±0.2°. Spot activity is indicated by night to night variations.
We wish to thank the NURO and SARA for their allocation of observing time, as well as NASA and the AAS for their support in paying for travel and publication expenses.
