Possible substellar companions in low-mass eclipsing binaries:GU Bootis and YY Geminorum
2018
We present the next results of our long-term observational
project to analyze the variations in the orbital periods of
low-mass eclipsing binaries. About 70 new precise mid-eclipse
times recorded with a CCD were obtained for two eclipsing
binaries with short orbital periods: GU Boo (P = 0.^{d}49) and
YY Gem (0.^{d}81). Observed-minus-calculated diagrams of the
stars were analyzed using all reliable timings, and new
parameters of the light-time effect were obtained. We derived
for the first time or improved the short orbital periods of
possible third bodies of 11 and 54 years for these low-mass
binaries, respectively. We calculated that the minimum masses
of the third components are close to 50 M_{Jup}, which
corresponds to the mass of brown dwarfs. The multiplicity of
these systems also plays an important role in the precise
determination of their physical parameters.
