1305.5632 (D. Shanti Priya et al.)

Photometric study of an Eclipsing Binary in Praesepe    [PDF]

D. Shanti Priya, K. Sriram, P. Vivekananda Rao
We present CCD photometric observations of an eclipsing binary in the direction of the open cluster Praesepe using the 2 m telescope of IUCAA Girawali Observatory, India. Though the system was classified as an eclipsing binary by Pepper et al.(2008),detail investigations were lacking. The photometric solutions using the Wilson-Devinney code suggest that it is a W-type W UMa system and interestingly, the system parameters were similar to another contact binary system SW Lac.
