New Data on NSVS 01286630 a close binary star system.

Binary star measurement.

Using the time variations of the eclipses we are able to calculate the orbit of possible companion objects big enough to have an effect on the orbital period of the binary pair.

The picture below is the plot of light magnitude from the binary pair. The timing of this minima is then corrected for our orbit round the sun and further corrections to give the precise time of the eclipse.

many of these are measured to find orbital variation caused by third objects.
