We analyze the CoRoT and V-passband ground-based light curves of the interacting close binary AU Mon, assuming that there is a geometrically and optically thick accretion disk around the hotter and more massive star, as inferred from photometric and spectroscopic characteristics of the binary. Our model fits the observations very well and provides estimates for the orbital elements and physical parameters of the components and of the accretion disk.

Analyses of very accurate CoRoT space photometry, past Johnson V photoelectric photometry and high-resolution echelle spectra led to the determination of improved and consistent fundamental stellar properties of both components of AU Mon. We derived
new, accurate ephemerides for both the orbital motion (with a period of 11.113d) and the long-term, overall brightness variation (with a period of 416.9d) of this strongly interacting Be + G semi-detached binary. It is shown that this long-term variation must be due to attenuation of the total light by some variable circumbinary material. We derived the binary mass ratio $M_{rm G}/M_{rm B}$ = 0.17p0.03 based on the assumption that the G-type secondary fills its Roche lobe and rotates synchronously. Using this value of the mass ratio as well as the radial velocities of the G-star, we obtained a consistent light curve model and improved estimates of the stellar masses, radii, luminosities and effective temperatures. We demonstrate that the observed lines of the B-type primary may not be of photospheric origin. We also discover rapid and periodic light changes visible in the high-quality residual CoRoT light curves. AU Mon is put into perspective by a comparison with known binaries exhibiting long-term cyclic light changes.
We present Mon-735, a detached double-lined eclipsing binary (EB) member of the $sim$3 Myr old NGC 2264 star forming region, detected by Spitzer. We simultaneously model the Spitzer light curves, follow-up Keck/HIRES radial velocities, and the system
s spectral energy distribution to determine self-consistent masses, radii and effective temperatures for both stars. We find that Mon-735 comprises two pre-main sequence M dwarfs with component masses of $M = 0.2918 pm 0.0099$ and $0.2661 pm 0.0095$ $rm{M}_{odot}$, radii of $R = 0.762 pm 0.022$ and $0.748 pm 0.023$ $rm{R}_{odot}$, and effective temperatures of $T_{rm eff} = 3260 pm 73$ and $3213 pm 73$ $rm{K}$. The two stars travel on circular orbits around their common centre of mass in $P = 1.9751388 pm 0.0000050$ days. We compare our results for Mon-735, along with another EB in NGC 2264 (CoRoT 223992193), to the predictions of five stellar evolution models. These suggest that the lower mass EB system Mon-735 is older than CoRoT 223992193 in the mass-radius diagram (MRD) and, to a lesser extent, in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD). The MRD ages of Mon-735 and CoRoT 223992193 are $sim$7-9 and 4-6 Myr, respectively, with the two components in each EB system possessing consistent ages.
We present the discovery of a plausible disk-eclipse system OGLE-BLG182.1.162852. The OGLE light curve for OGLE-BLG182.1.162852 shows three episodes of dimming by $I simeq 2 - 3$ magnitudes, separated by 1277 days. The shape of the light curve during
dimming events is very similar to that of known disk eclipse system OGLE-LMC-ECL-11893 (Dong et al. 2014). The event is presently undergoing a dimming event, predicted to end on December 30th, 2014. We encourage spectroscopic and multi-band photometric observations now. The next dimming episode for OGLE-BLG182.1.162852 is expected to occur in March 2018.
We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of HD 50526, an ellipsoidal binary member of the group Double Periodic Variable stars. Performing data-mining in photometric surveys and conducting new spectroscopic observations with several spectrogr
aphs during 2008 to 2015, we obtained orbital and stellar parameters of the system. The radial velocities were analyzed with the genetic PIKAIA algorithm, whereas Doppler tomography maps for the H$alpha$ and H$beta$ lines were constructed with the Total Variation Minimization code. An optimized simplex-algorithm was used to solve the inverse-problem adjusting the light curve with the best stellar parameters for the system. We find an orbital period of $6.701 pm 0.001 ~mathrm{d}$ and a long photometric cycle of $191 pm 2 ~mathrm{d}$. We detected the spectral features of the coldest star, and modeled it with a $log{g} = 2.79 pm 0.02 ~mathrm{dex}$ giant of mass $1.13 pm 0.02 ~mathrm{M_{odot}}$ and effective temperature $10500 pm 125 ~mathrm{K}$. In addition, we determine a mass ratio $q= 0.206 pm 0.033$ and that the hot star is a B-type dwarf of mass $5.48 pm 0.02 ~mathrm{M_{odot}}$. The $V$-band orbital light curve can be modeled including the presence of an accretion disk around the hotter star. This fills the Roche lobe of the hotter star, and has a radius $14.74 pm 0.02 ~mathrm{R_{odot}}$ and temperature at the outer edge $9400 ~mathrm{K}$. Two bright spots located in the disk account for the global morphology of the light curve. The Doppler tomography maps of H$alpha$ and H$beta$, reveal complex structures of mass fluxes in the system.
We present multi-epoch optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry and spectroscopy of the spectroscopic binary T Tauri star DQ Tau. The photometric monitoring, obtained using SMARTS ANDICAM, recovers the previously-seen correlation between optical fl
ux and the 15.8-day binary orbital period, with blue flux peaks occurring close to most observed periastron passages. For the first time, we find an even more consistent correlation between orbital period and NIR brightness and color. The onset of pulse events in the NIR on average precedes those in the optical by a few days, with the rise usually starting near apastron orbital phase. We further obtained five epochs of spectroscopy using IRTF SpeX, with a wavelength range of 0.8 to 5 microns, and derived spectra of the infrared excess emission. The shape and strength of the excess varies with time, with cooler and weaker characteristic dust emission (T ~ 1100-1300 K) over most of the binary orbit, and stronger/warmer dust emission (T ~ 1600 K, indicative of dust sublimation) just before periastron passage. We suggest our results are broadly consistent with predictions of simulations of disk structure and accretion flows around close binaries, with the varying dust emission possibly tracing the evolution of accretion streams falling inwards through a circumbinary disk cavity and feeding the accretion pulses traced by the optical photometry and NIR emission lines. However, our results also show more complicated behavior that is not fully explained by this simple picture, and will require further observations and modeling to fully interpret.
