In this study we determined precise orbital and physical parameters of the very short period low-mass contact binary system CC Com. The parameters are obtained by analysis of the new CCD data with the archival spectroscopic data. The physical parameters of the components derived as $M_textrm{c}$ = 0.717(14) $M_{odot}$, $M_textrm{h}$ = 0.378(8) $M_{odot}$, $R_textrm{c}$ = 0.708(12) $R_{odot}$, $R_textrm{h}$ = 0.530(10) $R_{odot}$, $L_textrm{c}$ = 0.138(12) $L_{odot}$, $L_textrm{h}$ = 0.085(7) $L_{odot}$, and the distance of the system is estimated as 64(4) pc. The times of minima obtained in this study and with those published before enable us to calculate the mass transfer rate between the components which is $1.6times10^{-8}$ M$_{odot}$yr$^{-1}$. Finally, we discuss the possible evolutionary scenario of CC Com.

We report the occurrence of a deep low state in the eclipsing short-period cataclysmic variable IR Com, lasting more than two years. Spectroscopy obtained in this state shows the system as a detached white dwarf plus low-mass companion, indicating th at accretion has practically ceased. The spectral type of the companion derived from the SDSS spectrum is M6-7, somewhat later than expected for the orbital period of IR Com. Its radial velocity amplitude, K_2=419.6+-3.4 km/s, together with the inclination of 75-90deg implies 0.8Msun<Mwd<1.0Msun. We estimate the white dwarf temperature to be ~15000K, and the absence of Zeeman splitting in the Balmer lines rules out magnetic fields in excess of ~5 MG. IR Com still defies an unambiguous classification, in particular the occurrence of a deep, long low state is so far unique among short-period CVs that are not strongly magnetic.
Close binary systems provide an excellent tool to determine stellar parameters such as radii and masses with a high degree of precision. Due to the high rotational velocities, most of these systems exhibit strong signs of magnetic activity, which has been postulated to be the underlying reason for radius inflation in many of the components. We aim to extend the sample of low-mass binary systems with well-known X-ray properties. For this, we analyze data from a singular XMM-Newton pointing of the close, low-mass eclipsing binary system BX Tri. The UV light curve is modeled with the eclipsing binary modeling tool PHOEBE and data acquired with the EPIC cameras is analyzed to search for hints of orbital modulation. We find clear evidence of orbital modulation in the UV light curve and show that PHOEBE is fully capable of modeling data within this wavelength range. Comparison to a theoretical flux prediction based on PHOENIX models shows that the majority of UV emission is of photospheric origin. While the X-ray light curve does exhibit strong variations, the signal-to-noise ratio of the observation is insufficient for a clear detection of signs of orbital modulation. There is evidence of a Neupert-like correlation between UV and X-ray data.
We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations for 2M 1533+3759 (= NSVS 07826147). It has an orbital period of 0.16177042 day, significantly longer than the 2.3--3.0 hour periods of the other known eclipsing sdB+dM systems. Spectroscopic a nalysis of the hot primary yields Teff = 29230 +/- 125 K, log g = 5.58 +/- 0.03 and log N(He)/N(H) = -2.37 +/- 0.05. The sdB velocity amplitude is K1 = 71.1 +/- 1.0 km/s. The only detectable light contribution from the secondary is due to the surprisingly strong reflection effect. Light curve modeling produced several solutions corresponding to different values of the system mass ratio, q(M2/M1), but only one is consistent with a core helium burning star, q=0.301. The orbital inclination is 86.6 degree. The sdB primary mass is M1 = 0.376 +/- 0.055 Msun and its radius is R1 = 0.166 +/- 0.007 Rsun. 2M1533+3759 joins PG0911+456 (and possibly also HS2333+3927) in having an unusually low mass for an sdB star. SdB stars with masses significantly lower than the canonical value of 0.48 Msun, down to as low as 0.30 Msun, were theoretically predicted by Han et al. (2002, 2003), but observational evidence has only recently begun to confirm the existence of such stars. The existence of core helium burning stars with masses lower than 0.40--0.43 Msun implies that at least some sdB progenitors have initial main sequence masses of 1.8--2.0 Msun or more, i.e. they are at least main sequence A stars. The secondary is a main sequence M5 star.
The two objects 1SWASP J150822.80-054236.9 and 1SWASP J160156.04+202821.6 were initially detected from their SuperWASP archived light curves as candidate eclipsing binaries with periods close to the short-period cut-off of the orbital period distribu tion of main sequence binaries, at ~0.2 d. Here, using INT spectroscopic data, we confirm them as double-lined spectroscopic and eclipsing binaries, in contact configuration. Following modelling of their visual light curves and radial velocity curves, we determine their component and system parameters to precisions between ~2 and 11%. The former system contains 1.07 and 0.55 M_sun components, with radii of 0.90 and 0.68 R_sun respectively; its primary exhibits pulsations with period 1/6 the orbital period of the system. The latter contains 0.86 and 0.57 M_sun components, with radii of 0.75 and 0.63R_sun respectively.

This paper presents new CCD BVRI light curves of the newly discovered RS CVn eclipsing binary V1034 Her in 2009 and 2010, which shapes are different from the previous published results. They show asymmetric outside eclipse and we try to use a spot mo del to explain the phenomena. Using the Wilson-Devinney program with one-spot or two-spots model, photometric solutions of the system and starspot parameters were derived. Comparing the two results, it shows that the case of two spots is better successful in reproducing the light-curve distortions. For all the spot longitudes, it suggests that the trend towards active longitude belts and each active longitude belts might be switch. Comparing the light curves of 2009 and 2010, it indicates that the light curve changes on a long time scale of one year, especially in phase 0.25. In addition, we also collected the values of the maximum amplitudes of photometric distortion of the short-period RS CVn binary. We found for the first time that there is a trend of increasing activity with decreasing the orbital period. Finally, fitting all available light minimum times including our newly obtained ones with polynomial function confirmed that the orbital period of V1034 underwent up increase.
