Both high precision CCD photometric and H$alpha$ line studies are presented for an overcontact binary ASAS J082243+1927.0. The light curve exhibits a total eclipse at secondary minima along with an OConnell effect. The light curve was modeled using the Wilson Devinney code and the best solution provides the mass ratio q = 0.106 and fill-out factor f = 72%. These parameters indicate that the system is a low mass ratio overcontact binary with a high degree of geometrical contact. The H alpha line equivalent width varied at different phases and it is found that the line is possibly filled-in at secondary minima. From a small sample of overcontact binaries, we found a correlation between the orbital period and H alpha line equivalent width of the primary component. Based on a sample of high filling factor and low mass ratio contact binaries, a mass ratio cut-off is observed at q = 0.085 in mass ratio - period plane. It was observed that below q $le$ 0.085, period decreases with an increase in q and above it, period increases as the mass ratio increases. Interestingly, the observed mass ratio cut-off value lies close to the critical mass ratio range as predicted in the literature. The observational evidence of the cut-off of the mass ratio and its variation with orbital period are discussed in terms of mass transfer and angular momentum loss. Based on the results, we suggest that, ASAS J082243+1927.0 is at the verge of merger, eventually forming a fast rotating star.

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.
We utilize the new Magellan adaptive optics system (MagAO) to image the binary proplyd LV 1 in the Orion Trapezium at H alpha. This is among the first AO results in visible wavelengths. The H alpha image clearly shows the ionization fronts, the inter proplyd shell, and the cometary tails. Our astrometric measurements find no significant relative motion between components over ~18 yr, implying that LV 1 is a low-mass system. We also analyze Large Binocular Telescope AO observations, and find a point source which may be the embedded protostars photosphere in the continuum. Converting the H magnitudes to mass, we show that the LV 1 binary may consist of one very-low-mass star with a likely brown dwarf secondary, or even plausibly a double brown dwarf. Finally, the magnetopause of the minor proplyd is estimated to have a radius of 110 AU, consistent with the location of the bow shock seen in H alpha.
TY Pup is a well-known bright eclipsing binary in southern hemisphere with an orbital period of 0.8192 days. New light curves in $B, V, (RI)_C$ bands were obtained with the 0.61-m reflector robotic telescope (PROMPT-8) at CTIO in Chile from January t o February 2015 and from March to April 2017. By analyzing those photometric data with the W-D method, it is found that TY Pup is a low-mass-ratio ($q sim$ 0.184) and deep contact binary with a high fill-out factor ($84.3,%$). An investigation of all available times of minimum light including three new ones obtained with the 60-cm and the 1.0-m telescopes at Yunnan Observatories in China indicates that the period change of TY Pup is complex. An upward parabolic variation in the $O-C$ diagram is detected to be superimposed on a cyclic oscillation. The upward parabolic change reveals a long-term continuous increase in the orbital period at a rate of $mathrm{d}P/mathrm{d}t = 5.57(pm 0.08)times10^{-8}$ d $textrm{yr}^{-1}$. The period increase can be explained by mass transfer from the less massive component ($M_2 sim 0.3 M_{odot}$) to the more massive one ($M_1 sim 1.65 M_{odot}$) and the mass ratio of the binary system will become more smaller. In this way, the binary will be merging when it meets the criterion that the orbital angular momentum is less than 3 times the total spin angular momentum, i.e., $J_{orb} < 3J_{rot}$. This suggests that the system will finally merge into a rapid-rotating single star and may produce a luminous red nova. The cyclic oscillation in the $O-C$ diagram can be interpreted by the light-travel time effect (LITE) via the presence of an additional companion.
The study of contemporaneous variations of the continuum flux and emission lines is of great importance to understand the different astrophysical processes at work in T Tauri stars. In this paper we present the results of a simultaneous $BVRI$ and H$ alpha$ photometric monitoring, contemporaneous to medium-resolution spectroscopy of six T Tauri stars in the Taurus-Auriga star forming region. We have characterized the H$alpha$ photometric system using synthetic templates and the contemporaneous spectra of the targets. We show that we can achieve a precision corresponding to 2$-$3 AA in the H$alpha$ equivalent width, in typical observing conditions. The spectral analysis has allowed us to determine the basic stellar parameters and the values of quantities related to the accretion. In particular, we have measured a significant veiling only for the three targets with the strongest H$alpha$ emission (T Tau, FM Tau, and DG Tau). The broad-band photometric variations are found to be in the range 0.05$-$0.70 mag and are often paired to variations in the H$alpha$ intensity, which becomes stronger when the stellar continuum is weaker. In addition, we have mostly observed a redder $V-I$ and a bluer $B-V$ color as the stars become fainter. For most of the targets, the timescales of these variations seem to be longer than the rotation period. One exception is T Tau, for which the broad-band photometry varies with the rotation period. The most plausible interpretation of these photometric and H$alpha$ variations is that they are due to non-stationary mass accretion onto the stars, but rotational modulation can play a major role in some cases.
We present the orbital solution of a peculiar double-lined spectroscopic and eclipsing binary system, 2M17091769+3127589. This solution was obtained by a simultaneous fit of both APOGEE radial velocities and TESS and ASAS-SN light curves to determine masses and radii. This system consists of an $M=0.256^{+0.010}_{-0.006}$ $M_odot$, $R=3.961^{+0.049}_{-0.032}$ $R_{odot}$ red giant and a hotter $M=1.518 ^{+0.057}_{-0.031}$ $M_odot$, $R=2.608^{+0.034}_{-0.321}$ $R_{odot}$ subgiant. Modelling with the MESA evolutionary codes indicates that the system likely formed 5.26 Gyrs ago, with a $M=1.2$ $M_odot$ primary that is now the systems red giant and a $M=1.11$ $M_odot$ secondary that is now a more massive subgiant. Due to Roche-lobe overflow as the primary ascends the red giant branch, the more evolved primary (i.e., originally the more massive star of the pair) is now only one-sixth as massive as the secondary. Such a difference between the initial and the current mass ratio is one of the most extreme detected so far. Evolutionary modelling suggests the system is still engaged in mass transfer, at a rate of $dot{M} sim 10^{-9}$ $M_odot$ yr$^{-1}$, and it provides an example of a less evolved precursor to some of the systems that consist of white dwarfs and blue stragglers.
