  • Minimum entropy techniques for determining the period of W UMA stars 
    McArthur, Ian Albert (2014-08)
    This MSc report discusses the attributes of W Ursae Majoris (W UMa) stars and an investigation into the Minimum Entropy (ME) method, a digital technique applied to the determination of their periods of variability. A Python ...
  • Modelling of eclipsing binaries 
    Skelton, Patricia Leigh (2009-08)
    W Ursae Majoris-type (W UMa-type) variable stars are contact eclipsing binary stars whose evolution is unknown. Modelling to determine the physical parameters of as many W UMa-type variable stars as possible might provide ...
  • Modelling of W UMa-type variable stars 
    Skelton, P.L.; Smits, D.P (OpenJournals Publishing, 2009-04)
    W Ursae Majoris (W UMa)-type variable stars are over-contact eclipsing binary stars. To understand how these systems form and evolve requires observations spanning many years, followed by detailed models of as many of them ...
  • A study of light curve variations in eclipsing contact binary stars 
    Jooste, Analize (2022-03)
    The study of light curves of W UMa (W Ursa Majoris type) eclipsing contact binary stars can provide insight into their physical dimensions as well as their evolution. By making use of different data sets, including from ...
