Abstract (from CDS):

TIC 157365951 has been classified as a δ Scuti type by the International Variable Star Index. Through the spectra from Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope and its light curve, we further discovered that it is a binary system. This binary system comprises a red-dwarf star and a compact star. Through the spectral energy distribution fitting, we determined the mass of the red dwarf star as M1 = 0.31 ± 0.01M⊙ and its radius as R1 = 0.414 ± 0.004R⊙. By fitting the double-peaked Hα emission, we derived the mass ratio of q = 1.76 ± 0.04, indicating a compact star mass of M2 = 0.54 ± 0.01M⊙. Using Phoebe to model the light curve and radial velocity curve for the detached binary system, we obtained a red dwarf star mass of M1 = 0.29 ± 0.02M⊙, a radius of R1 = 0.39 ± 0.04R⊙, and a Roche-lobe filling factor of f = 0.995 ± 0.129, which is close to the f = 1 expected for a semidetached system. The Phoebe model gives a compact star mass M2 = 0.53 ± 0.05M⊙. Constraining the system to be semidetached gives M1 = 0.34 ± 0.02M⊙, R1 = 0.41 ± 0.01R⊙, and M2 = 0.62 ± 0.03M⊙. The consistency of the models is encouraging. The value of the Roche-lobe filling factor suggests that there might be ongoing mass transfer. The compact star mass is as massive as a typical white dwarf.
