Photometric Analysis of Southern Contact Binary Stars, Part I: GZ PUP, AV PUP AND II APS
Abstract
An analysis of the V band light curves using the Wilson–Devinney code for GZ Pup, AV Pup and II Aps is provided. The three systems are found to be of W type with mass ratios of 0.37, 0.8 and 0.295, respectively. A review of the astrophysical quantities suggests that the systems generally demonstrate properties typical of the W-type contact binaries.
