  • 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 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 ...
