We present observations and analysis of an RS CVn-type double-lined eclipsing binary system, RU Cnc. The system has been observed for over a century. The high-quality long-cadence emph{Kepler} K2 C5 and C18, newly obtained observations, and two radial velocity curves were combined and analyzed simultaneously assuming multi-spot model. The masses, radii and luminosities of the component stars are precisely obtained as $M_textrm{c} = 1.386pm0.044, M_{_odot}$, $M_textrm{h} = 1.437 pm 0.046, M{_odot}$, $R_textrm{h} = 2.39pm 0.07, R{_odot}$, $R_textrm{c} = 5.02 pm 0.08, R{_odot}$, $L_textrm{h} = 11.4pm 1.2, L{_odot}$, $L_textrm{c} = 12.0 pm 1.0, L{_odot}$ and with a separation of $textrm{a} = 27.914 pm 0.016, R{_odot}$. The distance of the system is determined to be $380pm 57,$ pc which is consistent with the Gaia DR2 result. Long-term detailed period variation analysis of the system indicate a period decrease of $7.9times10^{-7}$ days per year. The results suggest the cooler component to be on the red giant branch (RGB) and the hotter one to be still on the main sequence.

First spectroscopic and new photometric observations of the eclipsing binary FM Leo are presented. The main aims were to determine orbital and stellar parameters of two components and their evolutionary stage. First spectroscopic observations of the system were obtained with DDO and PST spectrographs. The results of the orbital solution from radial velocity curves are combined with those derived from the light-curve analysis (ASAS-3 photometry and supplementary observations of eclipses with 1 m and 0.35 m telescopes) to derive orbital and stellar parameters. JKTEBOP, Wilson-Devinney binary modelling codes and a two-dimensional cross-correlation (TODCOR) method were applied for the analysis. We find the masses to be M_1 = 1.318 $pm$ 0.007 and M_2 = 1.287 $pm$ 0.007 M_sun, the radii to be R_1 = 1.648 $pm$ 0.043 and R_2 = 1.511 $pm$ 0.049 R_sun for primary and secondary stars, respectively. The evolutionary stage of the system is briefly discussed by comparing physical parameters with current stellar evolution models. We find the components are located at the main sequence, with an age of about 3 Gyr.

We present a timing analysis of the eclipsing post-common envelope binary (PCEB) DE CVn. Based on new CCD photometric observations and the published data, we found that the orbital period in DE CVn has a cyclic period oscillation with an amplitude of $28.08$ s and a period of $11.22$ years plus a rapid period decrease at a rate of $dot{P}=-3.35times10^{-11}ss^{-1}$. According to the evolutionary theory, secular period decreases in PCEBs arise from angular momentum losses (AMLs) driven by gravitational radiation (GR) and magnetic braking (MB). However, the observed orbital decay is too fast to be produced by AMLs via GR and MB, indicating that there could be other AML mechanism. We suggest that a circumbinary disk around DE CVn may be responsible for the additional AML. The disk mass was derived as a few$times$$10^{-4}$-$10^{-3}$$M_{odot}$ , which is in agreement with that inferred from previous studies in the order of magnitude. The cyclic change is most likely result of the gravitational perturbation by a circumbinary object due to the Applegates mechanism fails to explain such a large period oscillation. The mass of the potential third body is calculated as $M_{3}sin{i}=0.011(pm0.003)M_{odot}$. Supposing the circumbinary companion and the eclipsing binary is coplanar, its mass would correspond to a giant planet. This hypothetical giant planet is moving in a circular orbit of radius $sim5.75(pm2.02)$ AU around its host star.
Using a time series of high-resolution spectra and high-quality multi-colour photometry, we reconstruct surface maps of the primary component of the RS CVn type rapidly rotating eclipsing binary, SV Cam (F9V + K4V). We measure a mass ratio, q, of 0.6 41(2) using our highest quality spectra and obtain surface brightness maps of the primary component, which exhibit predominantly high-latitude spots located between 60-70-degree latitudes with a mean filling factor of about 35%. This is also indicated by the R-band light curve inversion, subjected to rigourous numerical tests. The spectral subtraction of the H-alpha line reveals strong activity of the secondary component. The excess H-alpha absorption detected near the secondary minimum hints to the presence of cool material partially obscuring the primary star. The flux ratios of Ca II IRT excess emission indicate that the contribution of chromospheric plage regions associated with star-spots is dominant, even during the passage of the filament-like absorption feature.
Using the high-precision photometry from the Kepler space telescope, thousands of stars with stellar and planetary companions have been observed. The characterization of stars with companions is not always straightforward and can be contaminated by s ystematic and stellar influences on the light curves. Here, through a detailed analysis of starspots and eclipses, we identify KOI-1003 as a new, active RS CVn star---the first identified with data from Kepler. The Kepler light curve of this close binary system exhibits the systems primary transit, secondary eclipse, and starspot evolution of two persistent active longitudes. The near equality of the systems orbital and rotation periods indicates the orbit and primary stars rotation are nearly synchronized ($P_mathrm{orb} = 8.360613pm0.000003$ days; $P_mathrm{rot} sim 8.23$ days). By assuming the secondary star is on the main sequence, we suggest the system consists of a $1.45^{+0.11}_{-0.19} M_odot$ subgiant primary and a $0.59^{+0.03}_{-0.04} M_odot$ main-sequence companion. Our work gives a distance of $4400 pm 600$ pc and an age of $t = 3.0^{-0.5}_{+2.0}$ Gyr, parameters which are discrepant with previous studies that included the star as a member of the open cluster NGC 6791.

The star 1SWASP J162842.31+101416.7 (WASP 1628+10) is one of several EL CVn-type stars recently identified using the WASP database, i.e., an eclipsing binary star in which an A-type dwarf star (WASP 1628+10A) eclipses the remnant of a disrupted red g iant star (WASP1628+10B). We have measured the masses, radii and luminosities of the stars in WASP 1628+10 using photometry obtained in three bands (u, g, r) with the Ultracam instrument and medium-resolution spectroscopy. The properties of the remnant are well-matched by models for stars in a rarely-observed state evolving to higher effective temperatures at nearly constant luminosity prior to becoming a very low-mass white dwarf composed almost entirely of helium, i.e., we confirm that WASP 1628+10B is a pre-He-WD. WASP 1628+10A appears to be a normal A2V star with a mass of $1.36 pm 0.05 M_{odot}$. By fitting models to the spectrum of this star around the H$gamma$ line we find that it has an effective temperature T$_{rm eff,A} = 7500 pm 200$K and a metallicity [Fe/H]$ = -0.3 pm 0.3$. The mass of WASP 1628+10B is only $0.135 pm 0.02M_{odot}$. The effective temperature of this pre-He-WD is approximately 9200K. The Ultracam photometry of WASP 1628+10 shows variability at several frequencies around 40 cycles per day, which is typical for $delta$ Sct-type pulsations often observed in early A-type stars like WASP 1628+10A. We also observe frequencies near 114 cycles/day and 129 cycles/day, much higher than the frequencies normally seen in $delta$ Sct stars. Additional photometry through the primary eclipse will be required to confirm that these higher frequencies are due to pulsations in WASP 1628+10B. If confirmed, this would be only the second known example of a pre-He-WD showing high-frequency pulsations.
