Light Curve Analysis of the Late Type Binary V523 Cassiopeiae
Abstract
We present the analysis of V and R light curves of the late typecontact binary V523 Cas for the season of 2006. These observations make part of the monitoring program aimed at studying the long-term light curve variability in this system. Our results confirm that the system is in an overcontact configuration, and include a bright spot in the neck region of the cooler and larger primary. We compare these results with the previous solution, obtained for the season 2005 dataset and discuss the differences.
