Abstract :
Here, the photometric CCD observations in RIAAM observatory and light
curve analyses of KIC 12418816 are presented. For comparison, the Kepler long cadence
(LC) photometric data was studied. The analyses of the recorded light curve in R-
band lter and Kepler LC photometric data were performed by PHOEBE software
by using the last version of Wilson-Devinney code. Initially, the search of mass ratio
(q = m2
m1
) of the binary system was done with nding the minimum chi-square value
(2), which takes all sources of noise into account. By photometric modeling which
was obtained from our observations, the mass ratio was calculated as 0:764 + 0:006.
The results were comparable with modeling extracted from Kepler LC data which was
obtained 0:752+0:002. Our observations showed that the effective temperature (Teff )
for primary and secondary stars were about 4421+19 and 4412+22 Kelvin, respectively.
The similar results were obtained from Kepler LC data which were about 4463+23 and
4419 + 18 for primary and secondary stars, respectively. Our modeling demonstrated
that we can introduce a spotted model with one spot on the primary component.
