New spectrometric data on V Pup are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and recent TESS) to allow a revision of the absolute parameters with increased precision. We find: $M_1$ = 14.0$pm$0.5, $M_2$ = 7.3$pm$0.3 (M$_odot$); $R_{1}$ = 5.48$pm$0.18, $R_2$ = 4.59$pm$0.15 (R$_odot$); $T_{1}$ 26000$pm 1000$, $T_2$ 24000 $pm$1000 (K), age 5 $pm$1 (Myr), photometric distance 320 $pm$10 (pc). The TESS photometry reveals low-amplitude ($sim$0.002 mag) variations of the $beta$ Cep kind, consistent with the deduced evolutionary condition and age of the optical primary. This fact provides independent support to our understanding of the system as in a process of Case A type interactive evolution that can be compared with $mu^1$ Sco. The $sim$10 M$_{odot}$ amount of matter shed by the over-luminous present secondary must have been mostly ejected from the system rather than transferred, thus taking angular momentum out of the orbit and keeping the pair in relative close proximity. New times of minima for V Pup have been studied and the results compared with previous analyses. The implied variation of period is consistent with the Case A evolutionary model, though we offer only a tentative sketch of the original arrangement of this massive system. We are not able to confirm the previously reported cyclical variations having a 5.47 yr period with the new data, though a direct comparison between the HIPPARCOS and TESS photometry points to the presence of third light from a star that is cooler than those of the close binary, as mentioned in previous literature.

We present combined photometric and spectroscopic analyses of the southern binary star PU Pup. High-resolution spectra of this system were taken at the University of Canterbury Mt. John Observatory in the years 2008 and again in 2014-15. We find the light contribution of the secondary component to be only $sim$2% of the total light of the system in optical wavelengths, resulting in a single-lined spectroscopic binary. Recent TESS data revealed grazing eclipses within the light minima, though the tidal distortion, examined also from HIPPARCOS data, remains the predominating light curve effect. Our model shows PU Pup to have the more massive primary relatively close to filling its Roche lobe. PU Pup is thus approaching the rare `fast phase of interactive (Case B) evolution. Our adopted absolute parameters are as follows: $M_1$ = 4.10 ($pm$0.20) M$_{odot}$, $M_2$ = 0.65 ($pm$0.05) M$_{odot}$, $R_{1}$ = 6.60 ($pm$0.30) R$_{odot}$, $R_2$ = 0.90 ($pm$0.10) R$_{odot}$; $T_{1}$ = 11500 ($pm$500) K, $T_{2}$ = 5000 ($pm$350) K; photometric distance = 186 ($pm$20) pc, age = 170 ($pm$20) My. The less-massive secondary component is found to be significantly oversized and overluminous compared to standard Main Sequence models. We discuss this discrepancy referring to heating from the reflection effect.
A photometric UBV survey is presented for 610 stars in a region surrounding the Cepheid AQ Puppis and centered southwest of the variable, based upon photoelectric measures for 14 stars and calibrated iris photometry of photographic plates of the field for 596 stars. An analysis of reddening and distance for program stars indicates that the major dust complex in this direction is ~1.8 kpc distant, producing differential extinction described by a ratio of total-to-selective extinction of R=Av/E(B-V)=3.10+-0.20. Zero-age main-sequence fitting for the main group of B-type stars along the line of sight yields a distance of 3.21+-0.19 kpc (Vo-Mv=12.53+-0.13 s.e.). The 29.97d Cepheid AQ Pup, of field reddening E(B-V)=0.47+-0.07 (E(B-V)(B0)=0.51+-0.07), appears to be associated with B-type stars lying within 5 of it as well as with a sparse group of stars, designated Turner 14, centered south of it at J2000.0 = 07:58:37, -29:25:00, with a mean reddening of E(B-V)=0.81+-0.01. AQ Pup has an inferred luminosity as a cluster member of <Mv>=-5.40+-0.25 and an evolutionary age of 3x10^7 yr. Its observed rate of period increase of 300.1+-1.2 s/yr is an order of magnitude larger than what is observed for Cepheids of comparable period in the third crossing of the instability strip, and may be indicative of a high rate of mass loss or a putative fifth crossing. Another sparse cluster, designated Turner 13, surrounds the newly-recognized 2.59d Cepheid V620 Pup, of space reddening E(B-V)=0.64+-0.02 (E(B-V)(B0)=0.68+-0.02), distance 2.88+-0.11 kpc (Vo-Mv=12.30+-0.08 s.e.), evolutionary age 10^8 yr, and an inferred luminosity as a likely cluster member of <Mv>=-2.74+-0.11. V620 Pup is tentatively identified as a first crosser, pending additional observations.
We constructed a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) astro-photometric catalog of the central region of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1261. This catalog, complemented with Gaia DR2 data sampling the external regions, has been used to estimate the structural parameters of the system (i.e., core, half-mass, tidal radii and concentration) from its resolved star density profile. We computed high-precision proper motions thanks to multi-epoch HST data and derived the cluster velocity dispersion profile in the plane of the sky for the innermost region, finding that the system is isotropic. The combination with line-of-sight information collected from spectroscopy in the external regions provided us with the cluster velocity dispersion profile along the entire radial extension. We also measured the absolute proper motion of NGC 1261 using a few background galaxies as a reference. The radial distribution of the Blue Straggler Star population shows that the cluster is in a low/intermediate phase of dynamical evolution.
The photometric and spectroscopic data for three double-lined detached eclipsing binaries were collected from the photometric and spectral surveys. The light and radial velocity curves of each binary system were simultaneously analyzed by using Wilson-Devinney (WD) code, and the absolute physical and orbital parameters of these binaries were derived. The masses of both components of ASASSN-V J063123.82+192341.9 were found to be $M_1 = 1.088 pm 0.016$ and $M_2 = 0.883 pm 0.016 M_{odot}$; and those of ASAS J011416+0426.4 were determined to be $M_1 = 0.934 pm 0.046$ and $M_2 = 0.754 pm 0.043 M_{odot}$; those of MW Aur were derived to be $M_1 = 2.052 pm 0.196$ and $M_2 = 1.939 pm 0.193 M_{odot}$. At last, the evolutionary status of these detached binaries was discussed based on their absolute parameters and the theoretical stellar models.

The paper presents combined spectroscopic and photometric orbital solutions for ten close binary systems: CN And, V776 Cas, FU Dra, UV Lyn, BB Peg, V592 Per, OU Ser, EQ Tau, HN UMa and HT Vir. The photometric data consist of new multicolor light curves, while the spectroscopy has been recently obtained within the radial velocity program at the David Dunlap Observatory (DDO). Absolute parameters of the components for these binary systems are derived. Our results confirm that CN And is not a contact system. Its configuration is semi-detached with the secondary component filling its Roche lobe. The configuration of nine other systems is contact. Three systems (V776 Cas, V592 Per and OU Ser) have high (44-77%) and six (FU Dra, UV Lyn, BB Peg, EQ Tau, HN UMa and HT Vir) low or intermediate (8-32%) fill-out factors. The absolute physical parameters are derived.
