Five years of photometry of andromedae Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We present photoelectric photometry of this bright long-period RS CVn binary and use it, along with earlier photometry, to derive the photometric period and discuss the changing light curve shape. The best ephemeris for times of minimum light is 2443829.2+53.d95 E. Because times of minimum and maximum extending back to those of Calder in 1933-37 can be phased together properly, the principal dark region must have maintained its identify for almost 50 yr. Over the last five years the brightness range has been 3m.70
