                               SUMMARY


 Three-colour photoelectric photometry of the RRab variable star RV Ursae
Maioris, is presented. Period and total light curve changes of the star
during the Blazhko period and O-C diagrams of both the main and the
secondary periods are investigated. It was found that a certain phase
point / phi_s=0,94/ of the ascending branches of the light curves showed 
no oscillation during the Blazhko period, which is hardly compatible with the
assumption of the superposition of beat periods. A long cycle of 6-8 years
in the O-C variations of the ascending branch was also found. Similar long
cycle variations are shown by other RR Lyrae stars exhibiting the Blazhko
effect, this variation being reminiscent of the solar magnetic cycle.



                           INTRODUCTION

   RV Ursae Maioris is an RRab Lyrae variable star whose light
variation was among the firsts discovered. The variability of RV UMa was
announced by Cerasky in 1907 /Cerasky 1907/, and its light elements were
derived by Blazhko /1908/. According to the properties of the observed
light curve and the period /P=0.4684d/ Blazhko classified the star as a
short periodic delta Ceph variable. In 1920, Jordan and Subbotin pointed 
out independently the strong variation of the light curve of RV UMa 
/Jordan, 1920; Subbotin, 1927/
 
    Photographic observations of RV UMa were initiated at the Konkoly 
Observatory by Julia Balázs and Detre with a 16 cm astrograph in 1936. A 
great number of observations were made in Budapest confirming the 
existence of a Blazhko effect, however, the secondary period could not be 
determined until photoelectric observations were made by Balázs and Detre 
in 1956-1957. Using all published observations they derived for the 
secondary period P_s=90.8d. They constructed O-C diagrams for both the 
fundamental and the secondary period over a time interval of 50 years. 

    According to Preston the spectral type of RV UMa at minimum
light is F4 from H-lines and A6 from the CaII-line giving Delta S=8   
/Preston, 1959/. On 34 nights in 1959 and 1960 Preston obtained a total of 113
spectrograms of the star; with the X-spectrograph of the Mount Wilson
60-inch reflector concurrently Spinrad carried out photoelectric
observations on the UBV system with the 20-inch reflector of the Leushner
Observatory in Berkeley. In addition four light rises were observed by
Preston with the 60-inch reflector in 1960. They used these series of
photoelectric and spectroscopic observations to point out some
peculiarities in the 90-day cycle /Preston and Spinrad, 1967/.


            THE PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATIONS 

  The present author observed RV UMa photoelectrically during the period 
1961-1969, at first in yellow and blue, later also in ultraviolet light. 
Additional measurements were obtained by Csank, Gefferth and Lovas on the 
B, V system in 1958-59. The observations ranged over all phases of the 
primary and secondary periods. In this way it was possible to study the 
variations of complete light- and colour-curves in the 90-day cycle. 

      The distribution of the observations is listed in Table I.

All observations were made with the 24-inch reflector of the Konkoly 
Observatory. The unrefrigerated photometer employed was equipped with an RCA
1P21 photomultiplier up to 1961, after that time with an EMI 9502B phototube.

     The following filters were used

The photomultiplier output was amplified by a d.c. amplifier. The
linearity of the instrument seemed to be warranted within the mesauring
interval. 
         The comparison star for our observations was the visual double
star BD +55 1616. Spinrad used the same comparison star while BD +54 1610,
used by Preston as a comparison star, was chosen as the check star. Both
stars are within 20' to the variable. The photoelectric data for these
stars were adopted from the measurements of Preston and Spinrad /Table II/.

Observations of standard stars published by Johnson and Morgan /1953/ were
used to transfer the differential magnitudes and colours from the
instrumental system u,b,v to the international U, B, V system by the formulae:
		
Delta V    = Delta v + epsilon Delta/B-V/   /1/
Delta/B-V/ = mu Delta/b-v/        /2/
Delta/U-B/ = psi Delta/u-b/	  /3/
		
The values of the coefficients were determined from time to time, though
not frequently enough to be able to trace small variations caused by
variability of sky transparency. Therefore, only the most significant
variations of the coefficients were taken into account - specially that
due to a transition from a silvered mirror to an aluminized one in 1961.
Beginning with 1963 we have obtained sufficient data for the coefficients.
The different sets of these coefficients are given in Table III, while the
reduced observations are listed in Table IV.

                   LIGHT-CURVE VARIATIONS
 
          The main purpose of this investigation was to study the
variations of the light curve in V and the B-V and U-B colour curves
in the 90-day cycle for all phases / phi / of the 0.468d period.
However the observations were concentrated on the phases phi = 0,85 - 0,05,
i. e. on the minimum ascending branch and maximum of the light curve. Some
individual V, B-V and U-B curves for these phases are represented in Fig.
1. To obtain complete light curves for all phases /the phase of highest
maximum being taken as psi=0/ of the 90d secondary period the same procedure
was applied as by Julia Balázs and Detre /1939/ for AR Herculis. From the
observed light curves the magnitudes were read off for a set of phi -
phases and these magnitudes were then plotted versus psi. In this way we
obtained a sequence of curves representing the variation in the light
curve for definite phi-phases as a function of psi.

         For derivation of proper phi and psi-values the O-C diagrams must 
first be constructed for both the fundamental and secondary periods. For C, the
elements of Balázs and Detre /1957/ were used, viz. 

/J.D. /maximum light/ = 2417861,4292+0,468063203d E /I/

 and 


 

Figure 1   The observed light curves in UBV according to different
           phase points of Blazhko period.

         J. D. /brightest maximum/ = 2418060 + 90,12 x N. /II/ where E
and N are epoch counts in the respective periods. For each year the actual
fundamental and secondary periods were determined by using the O-C /I/ and
O-C /II/ curves. For instance the fundamental period obtained for 1961
/when the greatest number of observations were collected/ was

                   P = 2437327,692 + 0,468061103d  E 

and the secondary period

                   P_s = 2437359 + 92,12d . N.

The brightest maxima were chosen from every observational season and are
given in Table V. The O-C diagrams constructed for these maxima are shown
in Fig 2. They are typical for RR Lyrae stars having a secondary period and
their structure can be considered as resulting from the cumulative 
effects of random period changes. Even so, the comparison of O-C/II/
reveals two important characteristics:

             1. The long cycles resulting from cumulative effects of
random period changes are opposite in phase in the two diagrams. That is a
change in the secondary period is accompanied by an opposite change in the
fundamental period.

             2. The changes expressed in units of the respective
period are much larger for the secondary period than for the main one.
These characteristics are especially conspicuous for RW Draconis and in
some respect also for RR Lyrae /see Detre, 1970/. They are considered to
be of fundamental importance for the interpretation of the secondary
period. 
             A few V = V /psi/_(phi =const) - diagrams are represented in 
Fig. 3a.
The scatter in V is largely due to the random variations in the periods
which makes an exact determination of phi and psi impossible. This is proved
by the fact that the scatter is largest in the ascending branch, between
phases phi = 0,85 to 0,975, which part of the light curve is especially
sensitive to random phase variations.

  The diagram shows the flattened light curves of different secondary
  period phase psi constructed from figures 3a,b,c. 
	
  The same procedure was carried out in B and U, as well /Fig.3b, 3c/
Using these curves the V /phi/_(psi=const') B-V /phi/_(psi=const) and 
U-B /phi/_(psi=const) diagrams /Figs. 4a and b/ were constructed on which 
all the following discussions are based.
  The two-colour diagrams at different phases of the secondary
period are shown in Fig. 5. On the loops the phases of the main period
are also indicated. The dashed line is the relation for the main sequence 
stars. 
  The V magnitudes and B-V colour indices at minimum light and maximum
light and the U-B ranges delta_2/ defined by Preston, Ann. Rev. of Astr.
and Astroph. Vol. 2, 1964/ are plotted versus psi in Fig. 6.
The V and B-V ranges are correlated and the values of V are more
strongly variable at maximum light than at minimum light as in the
case of other RR Lyrae stars with Blazhko effect. 
  Our photometric results are in good agreement with those obtained
by Preston and Spinrad /Ap. J. 147, 1025, 1967/. Nevertheless there are some
slight differences especially in the delta_2 values because accurate
observations in U-B could not be made under the unsatisfactory
observing conditions near Budapest.
  Figures 7a and b show the amplitude variation Delta A of the m/psi/
curves and the phase psi of the maxima of the same curves plotted
against phi. Delta A have two maxima in each colour.
The first of the maxima is at phase phi = 0,90 on the ascending
branch and the second one - which is higher, is at the phase of the light
maximum / phi=0,00/. It is evident from the figure that the light curves do
not change significantly between the phi = 0,35 - 0,55 phase interval during
the Blazhko cycle, It is however, rather surprising that there is a very
deep minimum at phase 0,94 on the ascending branch between the two maxima
mentioned above. This deep minimum indicates that there exists a point on
the ascending branch which does not show any significant oscillation
during the Blazhko cycle while the ascending branch before and after it
and especially the light maximum shows considerable oscillation. It is
very interesting to compare our results with those obtained for AR
Herculis by Almár /1961/. The same curves obtained for AR Her, also show
double maxima but at other phases. The essential difference is that the
first maximum of AR Her, is higher than the second one and the deep
minimum is situated at the phase of light maximum.

                          Figure 8
The O-C secular variations of three magnitude levels of the ascending
branch of the main period.

    This may be connected with the behaviour of the double light maximum
of AR Her which appears at certain phases of the secondary period while no
double maximum can be observed for RV UMa. The most important theoretical
consequence of the fact that there is no oscillation on a certain phase
point of the ascending branch of RV UMa during the Blashko period suggests
that the fundamental and the secondary period can not arise due to two
beat periods. That is to say in the case of superposition of beat periods
the ascending branch of the main period would need to oscillate to produce
the required effect in each of its phase points during the Blazhko period.

    Figure 8 shows the /O-C/ secular variation of three magnitude levels 
of the ascending branch of the main period. The /O-C/ variations of the
magnitude levels m:0,8, 0,5, 0,3 are cyclic and coincident with each
other. The length of the cycle is approximately 6-8 years. The cyclic
variation of these fixed magnitude points of the ascending branch is due
to the secular cyclic variation of the light curve form. When the /O-C/ is
more positive, the rising branch of the light curve is always steeper
during the secondary period and vice versa; the less positive the /O-C/
variation the more sinusoidal in form the light curve. 

Whatever the cause of the cyclic variation of the light curve form,
the length of this cyclic variation of RV UMa is commensurable with that of 
RR Lyrae. However, this length of cyclic variation corresponds to
the magnitude of the magnetic solar cycle therefore the suspicion that
the cyclic variation is a magnetic variation of the variable star,
as suggested by Detre, seems reasonable.
