英文摘要 | In this paper, we presented multicolor photometric observations for two eclipsing binaries, AO Camelopardalis and AH Tauri, obtained on 2008 December 16 and 17. Using the Wilson-Devinney Code, the photometric solution of AH Tau was determined from our new CCD data. The mass ratio and the fill-out factor are q = 0.503(+/-0.003) and f = 10.8%(+/-0.1%), respectively. This indicates that AH Tau is in weak contact. For the weak-contact binary AO Cam, BVI light curves clearly show a difference in the heights of the maxima (i.e., the O'Connell effect), which may be explained by spot activity. By analyzing the O-C curves for AO Cam and AH Tau, it is found that the orbital periods appear to show a secular period decrease with a cyclic variation. The observed period modulation is Delta P/P similar to 10(-6). For AO Cam, the cyclic oscillation with a short period of 7.63(+/-0.07) yr and a low amplitude of 0(d).0019(+/-0(d).0003) may be preferably attributed to the cyclic magnetic activity. The period and amplitude of the cyclic variation for AH Tau are 45.8(+/-1.1) yr and 0(d).0171(+/-0(d).0005), which may more likely result from the light-time effect via a third body. The secular period decrease rates are dP/dt = -1.26(+/-0.04) x 10(-7) days yr(-1) for AO Cam and dP/dt = -6.98(+/-0.07) x 10(-8) days yr(-1) for AH Tau. This kind of period decrease can be plausibly explained by the mass transfer from the primary to the secondary, and may result in the system evolving into a deep contact configuration. |
