“…We investigated how measurements of the dynamical masses of the selected CVBSs are affected by the distances inferred from the parallax measurements in each of the catalogues discussed above. We also compared these results with masses estimated from two different indirect methods: Malkov’s photometric masses (Malkov et al 2012a,b) and Al-Wardat’s multi-parameter approach for analysing CVBSs (Al-Wardat 2002a,b, 2007; Al-Wardat et al 2014b; Al-Wardat, Widyan, & Al-thyabat 2014a; Al-Wardat et al 2016, 2017; Masda, Al-Wardat, & Pathan 2018a; Masda, Al-Wardat, & Pathan 2018c). The latter is a computationally complex method employing colours, colour indices, and magnitude differences of the system along with its parallax to build individual synthetic spectral energy distributions (SED) for each component of the system.…”
