Abstract | We utilize the PAdova and TRieste Stellar Evolution Code (PARSEC) combined with photometric observations to determine a guaranteed mass of AL Cas and re-examine its related physical parameters. Multicolor-photometric observations of AL Cas have been performed in 2016 and 2017. We use the Wilson-Devinney (W-D) code to analyze the light curves and find that AL Cas is probably an A-subtype contact binary (f = 35.7 +/- 0.9%) with a mass ratio q = 0.6399 +/- 0.0230 and an effective temperature difference Delta T = 78 K. The mass-radius relation of a higher luminosity component for AL Cas is obtained by two methods: depending on calculation of the Roche lobe (DCRI, method) and depending on calculation of the W-D code (DCWD method). Using this relationship with the PARSEC model, we investigate the component masses of AL Cas as M-1 = 1.19 +/- 0.23 M-circle dot with M-2 = 0.76 +/- 0.18 M-circle dot by the DCRL method and M-1 = 1.22 +/- 0.26 M-circle dot with M-2 = 0.78 +/- 0.20 M-circle dot by the DCWD method. By means of the photometric studies, we examine the related physical properties of AL Cas with the latest findings. We update the orbital period (P-orb = 0.50055593d) of AL Cas according to six new times of light minimum together with those collected from the literature. Meanwhile, the (O - C)(2) curve analysis suggests that the orbital period of AL Cas has a cyclic variation with a period of 81.25 yr and an amplitude of 0.01415 d. This cyclic change would be caused by the light-travel time effect from a third body. A similar mass of the third body (M(3)sin i' = 0.279 M-circle dot) is derived from our two methods. |
