Evolutionary States and Triplicity of Four Massive Semidetached Binaries with Long-term Decreasing Orbital Periods in the LMC

The massive semidetached binary with a long-term decreasing orbital period may involve a rapid mass-transfer phase in Case A, and thus, they are good astrophysical laboratories for investigating the evolution of massive binary stars. In this work, by using the long-term observational light curves fr...
