Modern Comprehensive study of the W UMa System TY Boo
read the original abstract
New CCD three colors light curves of TY Boo were carried out in five nights from February to May 2006 in BVR bandpass using a 50-cm F/8.4 Ritchey Chretien telescope (Ba50) of the Baja Astronomical Observatory (Hungary), and 512*512 Apogee AP-7 CCD camera. A photometric solution of these light curves was obtained by means of Willson-Devinney code. The results showed that the low massive component is hotter than the more massive and cool one, and the temperature difference between the components is Delta T = 249 K. Long term investigation for the period behavior of the system based on all available data shows two stages of increase and similar of decrease, which look like as a periodic behavior. A new light elements yields a new period (p= 0.3171506 day) and shows a period decrease with the rate dP/dE = 5.858*10^(-12) day/cycle or 6.742*10^(-9) day/year or 0.1 second/century. The evolutionary status of the system is discussed.
