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 to 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.

We present extensive datasets for a class of intermediate-luminosity optical transients known as luminous red novae (LRNe). They show double-peaked light curves, with an initial rapid luminosity rise to a blue peak (at -13 to -15 mag), which is follo
wed by a longer-duration red peak that sometimes is attenuated, resembling a plateau. The progenitors of three of them (NGC4490-2011OT1, M101-2015OT1, and SNhunt248), likely relatively massive blue to yellow stars, were also observed in a pre-eruptive stage when their luminosity was slowly increasing. Early spectra obtained during the first peak show a blue continuum with superposed prominent narrow Balmer lines, with P Cygni profiles. Lines of Fe II are also clearly observed, mostly in emission. During the second peak, the spectral continuum becomes much redder, Halpha is barely detected, and a forest of narrow metal lines is observed in absorption. Very late-time spectra (~6 months after blue peak) show an extremely red spectral continuum, peaking in the infrared (IR) domain. Halpha is detected in pure emission at such late phases, along with broad absorption bands due to molecular overtones (such as TiO, VO). We discuss a few alternative scenarios for LRNe. Although major instabilities of single massive stars cannot be definitely ruled out, we favour a common envelope ejection in a close binary system, with possibly a final coalescence of the two stars. The similarity between LRNe and the outburst observed a few months before the explosion of the Type IIn SN 2011ht is also discussed.
Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) are astrophysical transients associated with the partial ejection of a binary systems common envelope (CE) shortly before its merger. Here we present the results of our photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign of AT2
018bwo (DLT18x), a LRN discovered in NGC45, and investigate its progenitor system using binary stellar-evolution models. The transient reached a peak magnitude of $M_r=-10.97pm0.11$ and maintained this brightness during its optical plateau of $t_p = 41pm5$days. During this phase, it showed a rather stable photospheric temperature of ~3300K and a luminosity of ~$10^{40}$erg/s. The photosphere of AT2018bwo at early times appeared larger and cooler than other similar LRNe, likely due to an extended mass-loss episode before the merger. Towards the end of the plateau, optical spectra showed a reddened continuum with strong molecular absorption bands. The reprocessed emission by the cooling dust was also detected in the mid-infrared bands ~1.5 years after the outburst. Archival Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescope data taken 10-14 years before the transient event suggest a progenitor star with $T_{prog}sim 6500$K, $R_{prog}sim 100R_{odot}$ and $L_{prog}sim 2times10^4L_{odot}$, and an upper limit for optically thin warm (1000 K) dust mass of $M_d<10^{-6}M_{odot}$. Using stellar binary-evolution models, we determined the properties of binary systems consistent with the progenitor parameter space. For AT2018bwo, we infer a primary mass of 12-16 $M_{odot}$, which is 9-45% larger than the ~11$M_{odot}$ obtained using single-star evolution models. The system, consistent with a yellow-supergiant primary, was likely in a stable mass-transfer regime with -2.4<log ($dot{M}/M_{odot}$/yr)<-1.2 a decade before the main instability occurred. During the dynamical merger, the system would have ejected 0.15-0.5$M_{odot}$ with a velocity of ~500 km/s.
Measurements of sulphur isotopes in presolar grains can help to identify the astrophysical sites in which these grains were formed. A more precise thermonuclear rate of the 33S(p,gamma)34Cl reaction is required, however, to assess the diagnostic abil
ity of sulphur isotopic ratios. We have studied the 33S(3He,d)34Cl proton-transfer reaction at 25 MeV using a high-resolution quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole magnetic spectrograph. Deuteron spectra were measured at ten scattering angles between 10 and 55 degrees. Twenty-four levels in 34Cl over Ex = 4.6 - 5.9 MeV were observed, including three levels for the first time. Proton spectroscopic factors were extracted for the first time for levels above the 33S+p threshold, spanning the energy range required for calculations of the thermonuclear 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate in classical nova explosions. We have determined a new 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate using a Monte Carlo method and have performed new hydrodynamic nova simulations to determine the impact on nova nucleosynthesis of remaining nuclear physics uncertainties in the reaction rate. We find that these uncertainties lead to a factor of less than 5 variation in the 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate over typical nova peak temperatures, and variation in the ejected nova yields of S--Ca isotopes by less than 20%. In particular, the predicted 32S/33S ratio is 110 - 130 for the nova model considered, compared to 110 - 440 with previous rate uncertainties. As recent type II supernova models predict ratios of 130 - 200, the 32S/33S ratio may be used to distinguish between grains of nova and supernova origin.
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 t
he 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.
