A third body in an eclipsing binary system causes regular periodic changes in the observed (O) minus the computed (C) eclipse epochs. Fourth bodies are rarely detected from the O-C data. We apply the new Discrete Chi-square method (DCM) to the O-C data of the eclipsing binary XZ Andromedae. These data contain the periodic signatures of at least ten wide orbit stars (WOSs). Their orbital periods are between 1.6 and 91.7 years. since no changes have been observed in the eclipses of XZ And during the past 127 years, the orbits of all these WOSs are most probably co-planar. We give detailed instructions of how the professional and the amateur astronomers can easily repeat all stages of our DCM analysis with an ordinary PC, as well as apply this method to O-C data of other eclipsing binaries.

Eclipsing binary DI Herculis (DI Her) is known to exhibit anomalously slow apsidal precession, below the rate predicted by the general relativity. Recent measurements of the Rossiter-McLauglin effect indicate that stellar spins in DI Her are almost o
rthogonal to the orbital angular momentum, which explains the anomalous precession in agreement with the earlier theoretical suggestion by Shakura. However, these measurements yield only the projections of the spin-orbit angles onto the sky plane, leaving the spin projection onto our line of sight unconstrained. Here we describe a method of determining the full three-dimensional spin orientation of the binary components relying on the use of the gravity darkening effect, which is significant for the rapidly rotating stars in DI Her. Gravity darkening gives rise to nonuniform brightness distribution over the stellar surface, the pattern of which depends on the stellar spin orientation. Using archival photometric data obtained during multiple eclipses spread over several decades we are able to constrain the unknown spin angles in DI Her with this method, finding that spin axes of both stars lie close to the plane of the sky. Our procedure fully accounts for the precession of stellar spins over the long time span of observations.
Eclipsing binaries with a $delta$ Sct component are powerful tools to derive the fundamental parameters and probe the internal structure of stars. In this study, spectral analysis of 6 primary $delta$ Sct components in eclipsing binaries has been per
formed. Values of $T_{rm eff}$, $v sin i$, and metallicity for the stars have been derived from medium-resolution spectroscopy. Additionally, a revised list of $delta$ Sct stars in eclipsing binaries is presented. In this list, we have only given the $delta$ Sct stars in eclipsing binaries to show the effects of the secondary components and tidal-locking on the pulsations of primary $delta$ Sct components. The stellar pulsation, atmospheric and fundamental parameters (e.g., mass, radius) of 92 $delta$ Sct stars in eclipsing binaries have been gathered. Comparison of the properties of single and eclipsing binary member $delta$ Sct stars has been made. We find that single $delta$ Sct stars pulsate in longer periods and with higher amplitudes than the primary $delta$ Sct components in eclipsing binaries. The $v sin i$ of $delta$ Sct components is found to be significantly lower than that of single $delta$ Sct stars. Relationships between the pulsation periods, amplitudes, and stellar parameters in our list have been examined. Significant correlations between the pulsation periods and the orbital periods, $T_{rm eff}$, $log g$, radius, mass ratio, $v sin i$, and the filling factor have been found.
The Kepler Mission has provided unprecedented, nearly continuous photometric data of $sim$200,000 objects in the $sim$105 deg$^{2}$ field of view from the beginning of science operations in May of 2009 until the loss of the second reaction wheel in M
ay of 2013. The Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog contains information including but not limited to ephemerides, stellar parameters and analytical approximation fits for every known eclipsing binary system in the Kepler Field of View. Using Target Pixel level data collected from Kepler in conjunction with the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog, we identify false positives among eclipsing binaries, i.e. targets that are not eclipsing binaries themselves, but are instead contaminated by eclipsing binary sources nearby on the sky and show eclipsing binary signatures in their light curves. We present methods for identifying these false positives and for extracting new light curves for the true source of the observed binary signal. For each source, we extract three separate light curves for each quarter of available data by optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio, the relative percent eclipse depth and the flux eclipse depth. We present 289 new eclipsing binaries in the Kepler Field of View that were not targets for observation, and these have been added to the Catalog. An online version of this Catalog with downloadable content and visualization tools is maintained at http://keplerEBs.villanova.edu.
We report our analyses of the multi-epoch (2015-2017) ALMA archival data of the Class II binary system XZ Tau at Bands 3, 4 and 6. The millimeter dust continuum images show compact, unresolved (r <~ 15 au) circumstellar disks (CSDs) around the indivi
dual binary stars; XZ Tau A and B, with a projected separation of ~ 39 au. The 12CO (2-1) emission associated with those CSDs traces the Keplerian rotations, whose rotational axes are misaligned with each other (P.A. ~ -5 deg for XZ Tau A and ~ 130 deg for XZ Tau B). The similar systemic velocities of the two CSDs (VLSR ~ 6.0 km s-1) suggest that the orbital plane of the binary stars is close to the plane of the sky. From the multi-epoch ALMA data, we have also identified the relative orbital motion of the binary. Along with the previous NIR data, we found that the elliptical orbit (e = 0.742+0.025-0.034, a = 0.172+0.002-0.003, and {omega} = -54.2+2.0-4.7 deg) is preferable to the circular orbit. Our results suggest that the two CSDs and the orbital plane of the XZ Tau system are all misaligned with each other, and possible mechanisms to produce such a configuration are discussed. Our analyses of the multi-epoch ALMA archival data demonstrate the feasibility of time-domain science with ALMA.
A short period eclipsing binary star CV Boo is tested for the possible existence of additional bodies in the system with a help of the light equation method. We use data on the moments of minima from the literature as well as from our observations du
ring 2014 May--July. A variation of the CV Boos orbital period is found with a period of $approx 75$ d. This variation can be explained by the influence of a third star with a mass of $approx 0.4M_{odot}$ in an eccentric orbit with $eapprox 0.9$. A possibility that the orbital period changes on long time scales is discussed. The suggested tertiary companion is near the chaotic zone around the central binary, so CV Boo represents an interesting example to test its dynamical evolution. A list of 14 minima moments of the binary obtained from our observations is presented.
