IMPROVED EPHEMERIS OF POORLY STUDIED ECLIPSING BINARY GSC 3950-00707 = 2MASS J20355082+5242136
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue
Abstract
We made our CCD-observations of GSC 3950-00707 by using the telescope Celestron-14 of Vihorlat Observatory and Astronomical Observatory on Kolonica Saddle. The moments of minima were calculated by using the symmetrical polynomial fit. We also analyzed the observations from automated surveys ASAS-SN and found 3 mean minima by using trigonometrical polynomial fit. The analysis of our observations and data from the surveys allows to conclude that it is the W UMa-type variable and its published period value is not accurate. We analyzed the O-C curve and corrected the elements.

THE DECADE-LONG INSTABILITIES IN EARTH’S ROTATION AS EVIDENCE OF LITHOSPHERIC DRIFT OVER THE ASTENOSPHERE
The decade instabilities in Earth’s rotation (DIER) are usually explained by the interactions of the Earth’s core and mantle. This hypothesis explains well a close correlation between DIER and the variations in the rate...
DISCONNECTED REGIONS OF STABLE CIRCULAR ORBITS IN PRESENCE OF MASSIVE SCALAR FIELD
We study circular orbits around a static spherically symmetric configuration of General Relativity in presence of a nonlinear massive scalar field (SF). The problem deals with a family of solutions to Einstein – SF equatio...
THE EXISTENCE OF GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING FIRE-BALLS AND METEORITES IN COMET-LIKE ORBITS
This paper discusses the existence of groups of meteorite-producing fireballs and ordinary chondrites in the Earth-crossing Jupiter-family comet-like (JFC) orbits. The similarity of the orbits of meteorite-producing fire...
X-RAY EMISSION AND ORIENTATION OF SELECTED PF GALAXY CLUSTERS
X-ray counterparts for 35 galaxy clusters contained in the PF catalogue of galaxy clusters and groups were found in XMM-Newton archive. 22 ones (all from ACO catalogue) have extended elliptic X-ray haloes appropriate for...
INFLUENCE OF SOLAR RETROGRADE MOTION ON TERRESTRIAL PROCESSES
The influence of solar retrograde motion on secular minima of solar activity, volcanic eruptions, climate changes, and other terrestrial processes is investigated. Most collected data suggest that secular minima o...
