A new CCD light curve of the A-type W UMa star V1073 Cygni has been obtained, and the di †erential-corrections method of Wilson and Devinney was used to compute a new set of system parameters. The same analysis has been applied to the other photometric light curves in the literature, including the Hipparcos light curve. A new ephemeris is determined for the times of primary minimum. V1073 Cygni probably has initially formed as a detached system and evolved into contact.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
