Study of connection between period changes and spectral type in eclipsing binaries
Vyhnálková, Veronika ; Zasche, Petr (advisor) ; Wolf, Marek (referee)
Main aim was to study whether there is a correlation between the changes in the period of the eclipsing binary stars and the spectral type of their secondary components. In the course of this thesis the character of period changes based on O-C diagrams is studied. Obtaining necessary data, several diagrams were constructed, namely the dependence of the mass ratio of both components (or period) for the effective temperature of the secondary, and another for various star type and lenght of measurement. From these diagrams the absence of alterning period change of the binaries with hot secondary was not proved, but it is indicated the shift of temperature of secondaries for binaries with increase (decrease) period to higher (lower) values. Also it was showed that monotone period changes are approximately twice more frequent for β Lyrae and W UMa-type stars than for Algols.
