Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Contact binary stars of the W UMa-type (also known as W) are unique objects: The luminosity, produced almost exclusively in the more massive component is efficiently distributed through the common envelope so that the surface brightness is practically identical over the whole visible surface of the binary. Mass ratios are known to span the whole wide range, from almost unity to very small values, as small as q = 0.066. Typically, the primary component provides the luminosity, while both components provide the radiating area. The range of the primary masses is moderate and corresponds to Main Sequence spectral types from middle A to early K and roughly maps into the orbital-period range of about 1.5 days to 0.22 days.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
