Through photometry from the TESS Space Telescope, two significant periods describing the orbital times of the components were identified using the Fourier transform. The analysis led to determining PA-BC = (4.269 � 0.213) d the orbital period of the A-BC pair, the primary component with the secondary component described by another pair, and PBC = (0.610 � 0.031) d the orbital period of the BC pair, the inner ellipsoidal system. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the shorter period can be explained by pulsations of one of the two components (e.g. by the GDOR type).","PeriodicalId":176387,"journal":{"name":"Open European Journal on Variable stars","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128971633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study showed that this star system is an overcontact eclipsing binary star that belongs to the W UMa class with characteristics of RS CVn type stars. We studied this binary system by photometric means through the V and I bandpass where data by the ASAS-SN survey have also been utilized. our photometry yielded a more precise orbital period that was obtained on its discovery. ASAS-SN data over a 6-year period revealed a long-term photometric wave that is attributed to star spot activity. We monitored the binary system over a 73-hour monitoring period to detect any possible flares from the system, where two consecutive events were monitored from one of our observing stations. Through the use of the Wilson-Devinney program as applied by Binary Maker 3.0, we have obtained a model for this binary system that reveals the presence of star spots on both components. Our results show that the star spot activity is rather dynamic where their influence on the system’s light output changed on seasonal timescales.","PeriodicalId":176387,"journal":{"name":"Open European Journal on Variable stars","volume":"43 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121753998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using our light curves, we conducted the periodicity analysis, and found ~405- and ~2160- day periods. We also discuss the tentative detection of a long-period variation over 20 years or longer.

Remarkably, a few stars of the sample appear to have substantially changed their average luminosity, the most striking case being KZ Ser.
