Kepler K2 Observations and Modelling of Algol-type binary KIC201325017

POSTER

Abstract

We present results from long cadence \textit{Kepler} K2 observations covering 64 days of the new Algol-type variable KIC 201325107 also known as LINEAR 2882780. Using Peranso for time series analysis, we detect an orbital period of 0.07441 d and time varying maxima. We create a synthetic model of system using PHOEBE and find a mass ratio $q \quad =$ 0.3493, an orbital inclination $\theta \quad =$ 83.29$^{\mathrm{\thinspace o}}$, and temperatures of $T_{1} = $6204 K and T$_{\mathrm{2}} \quad =$ 3816 K for the primary and secondary stars, respectively.~ In addition, we find evidence for streaming of matter from the secondary to the primary.
