V1851 Orion (V1851 Ori) is an eclipsing binary star which an orbital period of 0.27695 days. We use the 0.5 - meter reflecting telescope and CCD with the standard visual (V) and red (R) filters of the UBV system at the Regional Obser-vatory for the Public, Chachoengsao, Thailand, to observe their light curve. The photometry method calculates the light curves construction and the time of minimum determination. In this work, the time minimum of V1851 Ori is HJD 2458105.0490. The period change is calculated using the O-C diagram and it is shown that the period of the V1851 Ori is decreasing which the rate of 2 × (-6.75647 × 10-12) day/cycle. That means the period reduces continuously by approximately 1.54 × 10-3 seconds/year.
The W UMa type of the eclipsing binary system YY Eri was observed by using a 0.7-meter telescope with a CCD photometric system in B, V, and R filters at the Regional Observatory for the Public, Chachoengsao, Thailand, on 5 December 2018, from 12:30 PM to 10:00 PM, UT. The obtained data were calculated using the photometry method to construct the light curve of each wavelength band and determine the minimum time. HJD 2458458.306 and HJD 2458458.144 are the minimum time of the primary and secondary eclipse, respectively. The data were used to plot the O-C curve. The upward parabolic curve means the period increases at the rate of 4.57× 10-3 seconds/year. The sinusoidal curve suggests that YY Eri might have a third body which is located at a distance of about 3.45 AU from the center of mass with an orbital period of 68.6 years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
