Eclipsing binaries and related photometry

Abstract

This work mainly focuses on eclipsing binaries. It classifies binary stars based on the way they are discovered and chooses eclipsing binaries as the major topic. Firstly, the paper defines that the criteria for classifying eclipsing binaries in this work are Roche lobe by conductions, which divides eclipsing binaries into three kinds. To further explore the characteristics of three different types of eclipsing binaries, this paper applies light curve analysis, an extremely useful method for finding and analyzing binaries on them, and conducts some special features. Based on the analysis, this paper connects the conduction of the Roche lobe with observation data together. Nowadays, research on binary stars is prevalent because they are related to discovering exoplanets. Research on binary stars contributes to the development of discovering exoplanets as well. A couple of methods in finding binary stars can be applied in finding exoplanets, which have dramatic practical utilizations.
