Small Mass Ratio Contact Binary GR Vir and HV Aqr

Abstract

The absolute dimensions of low mass contact binary, GR Vir and HV Aqr were obtained using WD program from the published spectroscopic and photometric observational data. The evolutionary status of this type of system including GR Vir and HV Aqr has been considered. The primary stars of low mass contact binary system were located on the Terminal Age Main-sequence and secondary stars were located under the Zero Age Main-sequence in H-R diagram.
