Abstract:
We present BV light-curve synthetic analyses of three short-period
contact (W UMa) binaries: HY Pavonis (P≃0.35days), AW Virginis
(P≃0.35days), and BP Velorum (P≃0.26days). Different possible
configurations for wide range of the mass ratio were explored in each
case making use of the Wilson-Devinney code. The photometric
parameters of the systems were determined from the synthetic
light-curve solutions that best fit the observations. AW Vir has two
components of very similar temperatures and therefore the subtype
(A or W) remains undetermined. HY Pav and BP Vel are best modeled by
W-type configurations and the asymmetries in the light curves are
reproduced by introducing cool spots on the more massive secondary
components. Although BP Vel lies in the region of the open cluster
Cr 173, its distance modulus, in principle, rules it out as a
cluster member.
