Light Curve Analysis of a Short Period Eclipsing Binary SW Lyncis

The UBV light curves of a close eclipsing binary SW Lyn were obtained with the observations made at the Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory during 7 nights from September 1983 to March 1987. These light curves show asymmetry to the secondary minimum light and the asymmetry is larger at the shorter wavel...

Description
Summary:The UBV light curves of a close eclipsing binary SW Lyn were obtained with the observations made at the Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory during 7 nights from September 1983 to March 1987. These light curves show asymmetry to the secondary minimum light and the asymmetry is larger at the shorter wavelength light curve. Assuming that the star spot makes the asymmetry, we employed the WD code to make the B and V light curves solution. We confirmed that SW Lyn has near contact (semi-detached) Roche configuration and has the Case A evolution.
