Procedure for the Classification of Eclipsing Binaries
Résumé
In this work we present a procedure for the automatic classification of eclipsing binaries. The procedure is based on the data from a new catalogue of 6330 eclipsing variable stars, compiled by the authors and representing the largest list of eclipsing binaries classified from observations. The procedure allows the classification of a given system basing on a set of observational parameters even if the set is incomplete. Results of an application of the procedure to a test sample of 1029 classified systems and to a sample of 5301 unclassified systems are discussed. The classified eclipsing binaries will be used for determination of astrophysical parameters of their components.
