Contact Binary Light-curve Analyzer (CBLA)
Kai Li
This is a neural network model trained on theoretical light curves generated by PHOEBE, designed for analyzing contact binary light curves. The software enables: Multi-band light curve processing - Simultaneous analysis of observations across different passbands Comprehensive parameter determination - Accurate estimation of: • Temperature ratio (T₂/T₁) • Mass ratio (q) • Orbital inclination (i) • System potential (Ω) • Contact degree (f) • Component luminosities (L₁, L₂) • Relative radii (r₁, r₂) • Third light contribution (l₃) • Spot parameters The software has been compiled into a standalone Windows executable (.exe) and a Linux executable for convenient deployment. If you use our software, please cite the following paper "A Neural-network Model for Quickly Solving Multiple-band Light Curves of Contact Binaries" (2025, ApJS, 281, 1. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/ae064c).
