摘要： Theory suggests that the orbits of a large fraction of binary systems, including planet-star binary systems, shrink by few orders of magnitude after formation. But so far, only one hot Jupiter with tidally-driven orbital decay has been found by transit timing variations. We propose to search for orbital decay companions in heartbeat star systems because the orbital angular momentum is effectively transferred to the host star causing tidal dissipation. KIC 3766353 is one of the heartbeat stars with tidally excited oscillations. We acquired the primary and the secondary eclipse time variations from the \textit{Kepler} photometric light curves. Timing analysis shows that KIC 3766353 is a hierarchical triple system with a hidden third body and a red dwarf (mass $0.35\ M_{\odot}$, radius $0.34\ R_{\odot}$) in its inner orbit. The minimum mass of the third body is $\sim 0.26 \ M_{\odot}$, and the distance from the inner orbital is $\sim 111.4 \ R_{\odot}$. The period decay rate of the red dwarf is approximately 358 ms yr$^{-1}$. The combined effects of the light-travel time and the orbital decay lead to the observed timing variations. Future monitoring with a long time base-line observations is required to delve into the contributions of these two effects.

摘要： The spotted detached eclipsing binary (DEB) offers insights into starspots on the binary. Three spotted DEBs, KIC 8097825, KIC 6859813, and KIC 5527172, which were observed by the Kepler photometry and LAMOST spectroscopy, are studied in this work. The physical parameters of binaries are determined by binary modeling. The sizes, lifetimes, and single/double-dip ratio (SDR) of starspots are derived by starspot analysis. KIC 8097825 has large starspots. KIC 6859813 has a spot rotation period shorter than its orbital period but the system should be synchronized inferred from timescale estimation. The difference may be the result of the surface differential rotation. The KIC 5527172 has a long spot lifetime and an M dwarf component with an inflation radius. The primaries of these binaries and the secondary of KIC 8097825 have spots. Adding spotted DEBs of literature, we compare the starspots on binaries with those on the single stars. The spot sizes of starspots on 65% binaries are smaller than the median of those on single stars. The lifetimes of starspots on binaries are consistent with those on single stars when the rotation periods are larger than 3 days. SDRs for half of the binaries are consistent with those of single star systems, while another half are smaller. The relative lifetime positively correlates with the RMS and SDR but negatively correlates with the rotation period. These relations are similar to those of spots on the single star systems. Binaries with luminosity ratios close to the unit tend to have more double dips.

摘要： The LAMOST spectra and $\it{Kepler}$ light curves are combined to investigate the detached eclipsing binary KIC 8098300, which shows the O'Connell effect caused by spot/facula modulation. The radial velocity (RV) measurements are derived by using the tomographic spectra disentangling technology. The mass ratio $q = K_1/K_2 = 0.812 \pm 0.007$, and the orbital semi-major axis $a\mathrm{\sin}i = 14.984 \pm 0.048\ R_\odot$ are obtained by fitting the RV curves. We optimize the binary model concerning the spot/facula activity with the code PHOEBE and obtain precise parameters of the orbit including the eccentricity $e=0.0217 \pm 0.0008$, the inclination $i=87.71\pm 0.04^\circ$, and the angle of periastron $\omega=284.1\pm 0.5^\circ$. The masses and radii of the primary and secondary star are determined as $M_1=1.3467 \pm 0.0001M_\odot$, $R_1=1.569 \pm 0.003\ R_\odot$, and $M_2=1.0940 \pm 0.0001\ M_\odot$, $R_2=1.078 \pm 0.002\ R_\odot$, respectively. The ratio of temperatures of the two component stars is $r_{teff}=0.924 \pm 0.001$. We also obtain the periastron precession speed of $0.000024\pm 0.000001\ \mathrm{d}\ cycle^{-1}$. The residuals of out-of-eclipse are analyzed using the Auto-Correlation Function (ACF) and the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The spot/facula activity is relatively weaker, but the lifetime is longer than that of most single main sequence stars in the same temperature range. The average rotation period of the spots $P_{rot}=4.32\ d$ is slightly longer than the orbital period, which may be caused by either the migration of spots/faculae along the longitude or the latitudinal differential rotation. The activity may be spot-dominated for the secondary star and facula-dominated for the primary star.
