Özet

The orbital period variations of the eclipsing binaries XY Boo, RW Com, MR Del, and AK Her are investigated. This study includes the first orbital period analysis of the detached eclipsing binary MR Del and necessary updates for the remaining stars with addition of new mid-eclipse times calculated from our recent observations carried out at Ankara University Kreiken Observatory. The analysis shows that the period variations may result from mass exchange/loss and a third body for XY Boo, two additional bodies for RW Com, a substellar third component for MR Del, and mass exchange/loss, additional bodies and/or magnetic activity for AK Her. The hypothetical third component of MR Del with an estimated mass of 0.069 M-circle dot, appears to be very close to the borderline between stars and brown dwarfs.
