RESUMEN

Hemos analizado las nuevas curvas de luz UBV y BV para V376 And obtenidas en los observatorios de la Universidad de Ankara y de Rozhen y Bucarest, respectivamente, con el objeto de determinar los parámetros físicos del sistema y de estudiar su posible actividad. Las soluciones obtenidas por el método del problema inverso de Djurasevic, analizando simultáneamente las dos curvas de luz para la estación, describen al sistema V 376 And como una configuración en alto sobrecontacto ( ~ 36% – 2004 y ~ 55% – 2003) con una diferencia de temperaturas relativamente grande entre las componentes (ΔT = ThTc ~ 880 — 840 K), la cual es característica de los sistemas tipo A en contacto. La asimetría de la curva de luz puede explicarse suponiendo una mancha fría (de tipo solar) en la componente menos masiva y más fría.

 

ABSTRACT

The new UBV photoelectric light curves of V376 And acquired at Ankara University Observatory in 2004 by the present authors and its BV light curves collected at Rozhen and Bucharest Observatories in 2003 (Dumitrescu et al. 2004) have been analysed and reanalysed, respectively, with the aim to derive physical parameters and to study the possible activity of the system. The solutions made by using Djurasevics inverse–problem method in the simultaneous analysis of both seasonal light curves describe the V376 And system as a high overcontact configuration ( ~ 36% – 2004 and ~ 55% – 2003) with relatively large temperature difference between components (ΔT = ThTc ~ 880 — 840 K) which is characteristic for an A–type contact system. The light curve asymmetry can be explained by introducing the cool (solar type) spot region on the less massive, cooler, component.

Key Words: binaries: close — binaries: eclipsing — stars: fundamental parameters — stars: individual (V376 And).
