Multivariability of RS Bootis

Abstract

3420 photoelectric observations obtained between 1971 and 1978 are reported. The long period variation obtained by Oosterhof has been confirmed and its change defined (P1= 533 days). A shorter cycle of 62 days has been found superimposed on the long period. The brightening of the star during the cycle of 62 days is yellowish or cool. The secular change in the pulsation period has been found (Beta = 7.3x10-11 day cycle-1). Detached O-C2 residuals give a curve of sinusoidal form which, in a binary system, could be due to an orbit period motion of 70 years.
