Photometric Study of the Eclipsing Binary VW Leonis Minoris .

Abstract

VW LMi (HIP 54003) was discovered by HIPPARCOS/TYCHO as a W UMa variable. We carried out BV photometry of this star. A photometric solution is derived with the Djurasevic model. The binary, having the temperatures of the components approximately equal, is an overcontact system. Phase shifts of the light curve maxima were observed.
