Timings of Eclipses in the Light Curves of Selected Post Common Envelope Binaries

Abstract

We present eclipse timings derived from the light curves of selected post-common envelope binaries. Our sample includes systems exhibiting HW Vir-like light curves, pre-cataclysmic variables, and various classes of cataclysmic variables, such as dwarf novae, nova-like variables, and polars.

Articles submitted to the journal for publication must be prepared with journal's own LaTeX template. The package contains all necessary information as well as a sample article which can be filled by copy-pasting from your own work text:

Please download the template from the following link: TJAA-v3.0
It is possible to use Overleaf for writing TJAA manuscripts. TJAA template is available in the section of Academic Journals of the Overleaf.

Manuscripts can be written in English (preferred) or Turkish. However, in either case authors should provide meta-data (title, abstract) in both languages and key words in English.

The abstract should contain at least 100 words.
Turkish manuscripts should contain an English abstract.
A minimum of 3 keywords should be provided with the manuscript.
Keywords must be selected from this list which is common to the major astronomical and astrophysical journals.

Three forms have to be submitted along the full text manuscript: Copyright Transfer Form, Conflict of Interest Form, Author Contribution Form.

Submission of a manuscript implies acceptance of the journal’s Additional Policies on institutional affiliation, authorship and artificial intelligence usage.

The following article types can be submitted to TJAA:

Type	Description
Editorial	This type is special to TJAA Boards which is used for publishing news and announcements about the journal.
Research Article	Use this type for detailed studies reporting original research. They include hypothesis, background study, methods, results, interpretation of findings, and a discussion of possible implications.
Review Article	Review articles provide critical and constructive analysis of existing published literature in a field. They’re usually structured to provide a summary of existing literature, analysis, and comparison. Often, they identify specific gaps or problems and provide recommendations for future research.
Research Note	Use this type for sharing works in progress, comments and clarifications, null results, and timely reports of observations (such as the spectrum of a supernova), as well as results that wouldn’t traditionally merit a full paper (such as contributions to the monitoring of variable sources, eclipse and transit timing etc.).
Dissertation	Summary of completed graduate studies (M.Sc. and Ph.D.).
Conference Paper	Use this type for works which are presented in a national or international conference, symposia, workshop etc.
Meeting Abstract	Abstract of a Conference Paper.
Correction	A Correction notice will be issued when it is necessary to correct an error or omission which can impact the interpretation of the article. Examples include mislabeling of a figure, missing key information on funding or competing interests of the authors.

Publication Policy

1. Science with the journal

The Turkish Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics (TJAA) is a scientific research journal founded in August 1st, 2019. It publishes original peer-reviewed national and international research for the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and space sciences, preferably written in English or Turkish. Articles are expected to be new, or to propose a new method, or to bring a new dimension to existing knowledge.

The following article types are accepted in TJAA:

Editorial,
Research Article,
Review Article,
Research Note,
Dissertation,
Conference Paper,
Meeting Abstract,
Correction.

2. Publication Frequency

TJAA is published under a continuous publication model. Articles are published online as soon as they are accepted and assigned to the relevant volume.

3. Submission, Editors and Reviewing

If the author prefers to publish in Turkish, then an English abstract is required. A minimum of 3 keywords should be provided with the manuscript. Keywords must be selected from the list which is common to the major astronomical and astrophysical journals.

All responsibility for the articles belongs to the respective authors. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with internationally accepted scientific ethics rules. Each submission will be subjected to a similarity check via well-known online tools. Submissions that have more than 15% similarity report will not be taken to the reviewing process.

There is no evaluation and application fee for the articles published in TJAA.

4. Evaluation Period

Manuscripts that needs revision have to be resubmitted by applying reviewer's recommendations. Manuscripts with minor (major) corrections have to be resubmitted within 3 (6) weeks after reviewer's decision, respectively. Manuscripts that do not reach the desired level will be considered scientifically insufficient and they will be rejected.

When the manuscript is accepted for publication corresponding author should return page editing within 30 days and afterwards proofreading should be finished subsequent 10 days. If manuscripts are not returned within these periods they will be automatically rejected.

5. Preprint Policy

Authors have the right to make their submissions (the preprint versions) available through preprint services such as arXiv.org.

Ethical Responsibilities

1. For Authors

The authors who submit their manuscripts to Turkish Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics are expected to comply with the following ethical responsibilities:

Author(s) must submit original studies to the journal. If they utilize or use other studies, they must make the in-text and end-text references accurately and completely.
People who have not contributed to the study at the intellectual level should not be indicated as author.
If the manuscripts submitted to be published are subject of conflicting interests or relations, these must be explained.
During the review process of their manuscripts, author(s) may be asked to supply raw data. In such a case, author(s) should be ready to submit such data and information to the editorial and scientific boards.
Author(s) should document that they have the participants' consent and the necessary permissions related with the sharing and research/analysis of the data that are used.
Author(s) bears the responsibility to inform the editor of the journal or publisher if they happen to notice a mistake in their study which is in early release or publication process and to cooperate with the editors during the correction or withdrawal process.
Authors cannot submit their studies to multiple journals simultaneously. Each submission can be made only after the previous one is completed.
