Two CCD epochs of light minimum and a complete R light curve of SS Ari are presented. The light curve obtained in 2007 was analyzed with the 2003 version of the W-D code. It is shown that SS Ari is a shallow contact binary system with a mass ratio $q=3.25$ and a degree of contact factor f=9.4(pm0.8%). A period investigation based on all available data shows that there may exist two distinct solutions about the assumed third body. One, assuming eccentric orbit of the third body and constant orbital period of the eclipsing pair results in a massive third body with $M_3=1.73M_{odot}$ and P_3=87.0$yr. On the contrary, assuming continuous period changes of the eclipsing pair the orbital period of tertiary is 37.75yr and its mass is about $0.278M_{odot}$. Both of the cases suggest the presence of an unseen third component in the system.

In this study, we present long term photometric variations of the close binary system astrobj{GO Cyg}. Modelling of the system shows that the primary is filling Roche lobe and the secondary of the system is almost filling its Roche lobe. The physical parameters of the system are $M_1 = 3.0pm0.2 M_{odot}$, $M_2 = 1.3 pm 0.1 M_{odot}$, $R_1 = 2.50pm 0.12 R_{odot}$, $R_2 = 1.75 pm 0.09 R_{odot}$, $L_1 = 64pm 9 L_{odot}$, $L_2 = 4.9 pm 0.7 L_{odot}$, and $a = 5.5 pm 0.3 R_{odot}$. Our results show that astrobj{GO Cyg} is the most massive system near contact binary (NCB). Analysis of times of the minima shows a sinusoidal variation with a period of $92.3pm0.5$ years due to a third body whose mass is less than 2.3$M_{odot}$. Finally a period variation rate of $-1.4times10^{-9}$ d/yr has been determined using all available light curves.
BD And is a fairly bright (V = 10.8), active and close (P = 0.9258 days) eclipsing binary. The cyclic variability of the apparent orbital period as well as third light in the light curves indicate the presence of an additional late-type component. The principal aim is the spectroscopic testing of the third-body hypothesis and determination of absolute stellar parameters for both components of the eclipsing binary. First medium and high-resolution spectroscopy of the system was obtained. The broadening-function technique appropriate for heavily-broadened spectra of close binaries was used. The radial velocities were determined fitting the Gaussian functions and rotational profiles to the broadening functions. A limited amount of photometric data has also been obtained. Although the photometric observations were focused on the obtaining the timing information, a cursory light-curve analysis was also performed. Extracted broadening functions clearly show the presence of a third, slowly-rotating component. Its radial velocity is within error of the systemic velocity of the eclipsing pair, strongly supporting the physical bond. The observed systemic radial-velocity and third-component changes do not support the 9 year orbit found from the timing variability. Masses of the components of the eclipsing pair are determined with about 0.5% precision. Further characterization of the system would require long-term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring.
New CCD photometric light curves of short period (P=0.285d) eclipsing binary RW Dor are presented. The observations performed with the PROMPT-8 robotic telescope at CTIO in Chile from March 2015 to March 2017. The other eclipse timings were obtained from the 2.15-m JS telescope at CASLEO, San Juan, Argentina in December 2011. By light-curve analysis, it is found that RW Dor is a W-type shallow contact binary with a fill-out factor $f sim 11%$ and high mass ratio $q sim 1.587$ (1/q = 0.63), where the hotter component is the less massive one ($M_1 sim 0.52M_{odot}$ and $M_2 sim 0.82M_{odot}$). For orbital period investigation, the new fifteen eclipse times and those in previous published were compiled. Based on $O-C$ analysis with very weak evidence suggests that a long-term period decrease with a rate of $mathrm{d}P/mathrm{d}t = -9.61times10^{-9}$ d $textrm{yr}^{-1}$ is superimposed on a cyclic variation ($A_3$ = 0.0054 days and $P_3$ = 49.9 yrs). The long-term period decrease can be interpreted as mass transfer from the more massive component to the less massive one or combine with the angular momentum loss (AML) via magnetic braking. In addition, with the marginal contact phase, high mass ratio (1/q $>$ 0.4) and the long-term period decrease, all suggest that RW Dor is a newly formed contact binary via a Case A mass transfer and it will evolve into a deeper normal contact binary. If the cyclic change is correct, the light-travel time effect via the presence of a cool third body will be more plausible to explain for this.
We present results of new photometric observations of the contact binary system astrobj{HI Pup} as well as the radial velocity curve of the system. Time series multicolour photometry was obtained at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) using the 1-m Cassegrain Telescope. We applied a simultaneous solution to the $BVRI$ light and radial velocity curves in order to determine the physical parameters of the system. From an analysis of the new multicolour data, the physical parameters were found to be $M_1=1.22M_{odot}$, $M_2=0.23M_{odot}$, $R_1=1.44R_{odot}$, $R_2=0.67R_{odot}$, $L_1=3.3L_{odot}$, $L_2=0.7L_{odot}$. Our solution confirms that HI Pup has a typical A--type W UMa binary system characteristics.
In this study, we present photometric and spectroscopic variations of the extremely small mass ratio ($qsimeq 0.1$) late-type contact binary system astrobj{V1191 Cyg}. The parameters for the hot and cooler companions have been determined as $M_textrm{h}$ = 0.13 (1) $M_{odot}$, $M_textrm{c}$ = 1.29 (8) $M_{odot}$, $R_textrm{h}$ = 0.52 (15) $R_{odot}$, $R_textrm{c}$ = 1.31 (18) $R_{odot}$, $L_textrm{h}$ = 0.46 (25) $L_{odot}$, $L_textrm{c}$ = 2.71 (80) $L_{odot}$, the separation of the components is $a$= 2.20(8) $R_{odot}$ and the distance of the system is estimated as 278(31) pc. Analyses of the times of minima indicates a period increase of $frac{dP}{dt}=1.3(1)times 10^{-6}$ days/yr that reveals a very high mass transfer rate of $frac{dM}{dt}=2.0(4)times 10^{-7}$$M_{odot}$/yr from the less massive component to the more massive one. New observations show that the depths of the minima of the light curve have been interchanged.
