Published data for detached eclipsing binaries

The data available here have been presented in my papers on detached eclipsing binaries. The photometry is presented as text files containing HJD (usually minus 2400000) and differential magnitude. The spectroscopy is presented in the native format of the spectral analysis and storage package I use, molly, written by Tom Marsh. I am able to convert this to other formats (ascii, FITS) if needed.

SuperWASP photometry and an échelle spectrum of LL Aquarii

These data are described in Southworth et al (2013, A&A, 557, A119).

WIRE satellite photometry of β Aurigae

These data are described in Southworth et al (2007, A&A, 467, 1215).

The WIRE (Wide field Infra Red Explorer) satellite was launched in 1999 to observe starburst galaxies, but problems with its launch meant that it was unable to perform its primary mission. The star tracker camera, originally designed to monitor which way the satellite was pointing, was used to obtain high-precision light curves of bright stars until the satellite slipped into a coma in late 2006.

DW Carinae in the open cluster Collinder 228

These data were published in Clausen et al (2007, A&A, 461, 1065) and analysed in Southworth & Clausen (2007, A&A, 461, 1077).

WIRE and SMEI satellite photometry of ψ Centauri

These data are described in Bruntt et al (2006, A&A, 456, 651).

WW Aurigae, a metallic-lined eclipsing binary

These data are described in Southworth, Smalley, Maxted, Claret & Etzel (2005, MNRAS, 363, 529).

The published Strömgren photometry is from the Masters Thesis of Paul B. Etzel (1975, Masters Thesis, San Diego State University).

The published Johnson photometry was transcribed by myself, using proprietary optical character recognition software, from Kiyokawa & Kitamura (1975, Ann. Tokyo Astron. Obs., Second Series, 15, 117). This process is discussed in more detail in the paper (Southworth et al, 2005, MNRAS, 363, 529).

V621 Persei in the open cluster χ Persei

These data were described and analysed by Southworth, Maxted & Smalley (2004, MNRAS, 355, 986).

The published photometry is from Krzesinski & Pigulski (1997, A&A, 325, 987).

V453 Cygni in the open cluster NGC 6871

These data are described in Southworth, Maxted & Smalley (2004, MNRAS, 351, 1277).

The published photometry was transcribed by myself from Cohen (1974, A&AS, 15, 181).

Excellent UBV light curves were presented by Wachmann (1974, A&A, 34, 317) but were not tabulated in the paper. Arthur Wachmann passed away some years ago, and the data do not seem to have survived this event. I would be grateful to hear of any further information on these light curves.

V615 Persei and V618 Persei in the open cluster h Persei

These data are described in Southworth, Maxted & Smalley (2004, MNRAS, 349, 547).

The previously published photometry is from Krzesinski, Pigulski & Kolaczkowski (1999, A&A, 345, 505).
