THE INTERACTING EARLY-TYPE BINARY V382 Cyg
We analyze photometric and spectroscopic data and study the orbital period of the early-type interacting binary system V382 Cyg by using all the available data. We obtain a simultaneous light and radial velocity curve solution. The derived physical parameters of the primary and secondary stellar components are M{sub 1} = 27.9(5) M{sub Sun }, M{sub 2} = 20.8(4) M{sub Sun }, R{sub 1} = 9.7(2) R{sub Sun }, R{sub 2} = 8.5(2) R{sub Sun }, log ({sub 1}/L{sub Sun }) = 5.152(20), and log (L{sub 2}/L{sub Sun }) = 4.954(19) while the separation of the components is a = 23.4 R{sub Sun }. Newly obtained parameters yield the distance of the system to be 1466(76) pc. Analyses of the mid-eclipse times indicate a period increase of dP/dt = 4.2(1) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -7} days yr{sup -1} that can be interpreted in terms of the high-mass transfer (dM/dt 6.1(5) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -6} M{sub Sun} yr{sup -1}) from the less massive component to the more massive component. Finally, we model the evolution of the components using non-conservative codes and discuss the results obtained. The age of the binary system is estimated to be 3.85 Myr.
