ANALYSIS ON THE PHOTOMETRIC ORBIT OF DI PEGASI

  • Published : 1968.12.31

Abstract

The photometric orbital elements of an Algol-type eclipsing variable, DI Pegasi, are derived by means of Fourier transforms from two-color photoelectric observations. The system shows a long term variation of its orbital period, which is interpreted as due to a continuing mass loss mechanism from the secondary component. Physical dimensions and a model of the system are also suggested here.
