The photometric light curves of the W-type W UMa eclipsing contact binary system BB Pegasi have been found to be extremely asymmetric over all the observed 63 years in all wavelengths UBVR. The light curves have been characterized by occultation primary minima. Hence, the morphology of these light curves has been studied in view of these different asymmetric degrees. The system shows a distinct O'Connell effect, as well as depth variation. A 22.96 years of stellar dark spots cycle has been determined for the system. Almost the same cycle (22.78 yr) has been found for the depth variation of MinI and MinII. We also present an analysis of mid-eclipse time measurements of BB Peg. The analysis indicates a period decrement of 5.62X 10-8 day/yr, which can be interpreted in terms of mass transfer at a rate of -4.38 X 10-8M⊙/yr, from the more to the less massive component. The O - C diagram shows a damping sine wave covering two different cycles of 17.0 yr and 12.87 yr with amplitudes equal to 0.0071 and 0.0013 day, respectively. These unequal durations show a non-periodicity which may be explained as a result of magnetic activity cycling variations due to star spots. The obtained characteristics are consistent with similar chromospherically active stars, when applying the Applegate's (1992) mechanism.
The UBV observations of the close binary system CW Cephei were made from August 198:3 to December 1984 during 25 nights using the 61cm Boller and Chivens reflector at the Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory. The new UBV light curves were analyzed with the recent Wilson-Devinney binary model. Our photometric solution for CW Cep were well consistent with those of Clausen &. Gimenez (1991). Using our photometric solution and Popper & Hill (1991) spectroscopic one, each absolute masses and radii of components for CW Cep were derived as 13.63 M⊙ and 5.83 R⊙ for the primary, and 12.18 M⊙ and 5.14 R⊙ for the secondary, respectively.
The light curve and radial velocity curve of multiperiodic dwarf cepheid VI719 Cyg (HD200925) with peculiar light curve have been reanalyzed in order to identify the oscillation modes to confirm the helium settling within the envelope. To do these, through the period search for the photometric and radial velocity data from the literature, two different periods were determined and the oscillation modes corresponding to the first and second periods were identified as the fundamental and first radial overtones. Hence the helium settling within the envelope was confirmed from the period ratio. The color excess, metallicity, effective temperature, and surface gravity corresponding to two different modes were determined and it was found that these parameters almost do not depend upon different oscillation mode. By utilizing the surface brightness method, we investigated the variation of angular diameter and radial displacement and it was found that the angular variation is very peculiar. Also by referring to the stellar models, mass and age were determined as 2.7 M ⨀ and 0.42 Gyr respectively which make this variable star heavier and younger than other multimode dwarf cepheids. Preliminary spectroscopic CCD observations were carried out and it was found that Mg in VI719 Cygni is nearly solar abundent according to the analysis of 5172.68 |AA M g I line which is inconsistent with the photometric result. It was suggested that VI719 Cyg may be classified as a ρ Pup stars according to the photometric characteristics.
