Double-Periodic Variables: a class of massive binary systems.


"I will present an overview of our research on a particular subclass of interacting binaries known as Double Periodic Variables (DPVs). These systems show two well-defined periodicities: one corresponding to the orbital period and another, longer cycle whose origin is still under investigation. I will discuss observational evidence, light curve analysis, and theoretical interpretations involving mass transfer, accretion disks, and potential magnetic dynamo mechanisms."
