AC Piscium, A Short-Period Cool Dwarf Algol Binary

AC Piscium was found to be a near-contact, cool dwarf (K7-M4 type), short-period ( P = 0.335 day P = 0.335     day ) binary system. The binary is in a semidetached, Algol-type configuration. The binary could also be classified as a precontact W UMa binary. This system bears future study to further d...

Description
Summary:AC Piscium was found to be a near-contact, cool dwarf (K7-M4 type), short-period ( P = 0.335 day P = 0.335     day ) binary system. The binary is in a semidetached, Algol-type configuration. The binary could also be classified as a precontact W UMa binary. This system bears future study to further determine its absolute configuration and orbital evolution.
