Observing Campaign on KIC 02856960

Active Dates: Aug. 1, 2015 – Aug. 14, 2015


Abstract:

The AAVSO requests time-series observations of the eclipsing binary system KIC 02856960 beginning immediately, with intensive coverage urgently requested during the window of 2015 August 8.0 through August 12.0. Observations are requested on behalf of an international campaign coordinated by Dr. Thomas Marsh (University of Warwick) who is attempting to explain the enigmatic behavior of this possible triple system.

Justification:

This campaign is focused on the longer-period eclipses which occur approximately every 204 days, with a depth of about 0.07 magnitudes. The properties of this system have not been successfully modeled, and observations of this eclipse are strongly desired to provide additional constraints for the modeling efforts.
