Accretion and pulsation of IU Per based on INTEGRAL and ground base photometry
Abstract
IU Persei (IU Per) is an eclipsing semi detached (SD) binary with pulsating component (oscillating eclipsing Algol - oEA). Using our ground base photometry in Johnson's B and V filters and INTEGRAL/OMC (Optical Monitoring Camera) data in V filter we introduce the model of this system. We determined the (O - C) diagram behavior. Moreover, the short term variations of the light curve were detected. Whats more, we obtained residua, by comparison of observational and synthetic light curves (LC), of which the detailed period analysis enabled to characterize and localize their source, that can be explained as the pulsation activity of the primary component. The secondary, less massive component, is beyond the instability belt on H-R diagram and fulfills its Roche lobe. The accreting primary component pulsates in modes typical for the δ Scuti stars.
