Timing of AR CrB eclipses

Abstract: AR CrB is a short-period low-mass eclipsing binary. We conducted photometric observations of the system in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and obtained times of its light curves minima. The timing of eclipses (our times of minima combined with data from the literature) shows that the orbital period of AR CrB could possess periodical variations that can be explained by the gravitational influence of a third companion in a highly eccentric orbit around the central binary.

“…Long-term variations were observed for the spot radius. The light curve variability was similar to that of Zhukov (1983). The spot longitude obtained using this method is precise.…”

“…Maceroni et al (1982) determined similar absolute elements of CC Com using the Wilson and Devinney program (Wilson & Devinney 1971), but did not discuss the light curve asymmetry. Furthermore, different maximum values of the light curves were determined in different seasons (Zhukov 1983). McLean & Hilditch (1983) analyzed the radial velocity curves and derived a similar spectroscopic mass ratio.…”

“…This RS CVn classification appears to be erroneous and can be traced to time series photometric observations which used a fast-rotating spotted star as a photometric standard. Fisher et al (1983) reported δ Eri to be a suspected RS CVn variable based on detection of ∼0.02 mag amplitude variability with period ∼10 days. Unfortunately the observations used Eri as a photometric standard, itself a spotted variable star with P rot 10-12 d and variability at the ∼0.01-0.03 mag level (Frey et al 1991;Croll et al 2006).…”

“…It is also the first known and a heavily studied variable star in this OC. Its variability was discovered by Kurochkin (1960), and was later identified as a W UMa system by Efremov et al (1964). Interestingly, this binary was once misclassified as an RR Lyrae variable star by Kurochkin (1960), which was later noted by Maceroni et al (1984) who reported that this system is actually a W-type overcontact binary system instead.…”
