ASAS-SN Identification of a Detached Eclipsing Binary System with a 7.3 Year Period

Abstract

We report the identification of a new, long period detached eclipsing binary by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). Combining V-band photometry from ASAS-SN, ASAS and KELT, we constructed a light curve spanning 2006-2018. ASASSN-V J192543.72+402619.0 is an eccentric detached eclipsing binary with an orbital period of P7.3 yr, a minimum orbital eccentricity of emin0.2 and a primary eclipse lasting 160 d. We also detect a secondary eclipse that is 0.6 mag shallower. Multi-band photometry suggests that the more luminous component of the binary is an M-giant. Further photometric and spectroscopic observations are encouraged.
