We have conducted a survey of overcontact binary systems (EW) with mass ratio <= 0.25 from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) that are considered strong merger candidates and are probable progenitors of FK Com-type stars and ...

Context.The recently-discovered lack of close binaries, among extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars in Galactic globular clusters, has thus far constituted a major puzzle, in view of the fact that blue subdwarf stars - the ...

The unique capabilities of Type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia), with emission bright and uniform enough to serve as yardsticks on cosmological distance scales, has resulted in them becoming some of the most important objects in the ...

NSVS 14256825 is the second sdOB + dM eclipsing binary systems with anorbital period of 2.65 hours. The special binary was reported to contain circumbinary planets or brown dwarfs by using the timing method. However, ...
