Observation and analysis of RW Doradus
(Csiro Publishing, 2007) Marino, B. F.; Walker, W. S. G.; Bembrick, C.; Budding, E.
Photometry of the short-period (P similar to 0.285 d) low-mass (M-1 similar to 0.67, M-2 similar to 0.48 M-circle dot) W UMa-type eclipsing binary RW Dor, mainly involving a good series of observations in 1987-88, using standard B and V filters at the Auckland Observatory, is examined. Analysis via light curve fittings alone permits both transit (near main sequence) and occultation (W-type contact binary) solutions. Consideration of proximity or other effects on the relatively small number of measured radial velocities gives rise to a more detailed review of the alternatives, though the (W-type) configuration determined by Hilditch, Hill & Bell (1992) is still confirmed. Further implications of this configuration are examined, given an apparent general trend to period decrease (Delta P/P similar to 6 x 10(-11)), and some light curve asymmetry. This is consistent with the initially low-mass companion, Case-B scenario of Budding (1984). The evidence does suggest irregularity of the period variation however, and further detailed surveillance, including more spectroscopy, is desirable.
