Abstract

We obtained multi-colour light curves of HH Boo. We analysed the orbital period variation of the system. The analysis indicated that there is possible mass transfer from the second component to the primary or mass loss with -5.04x10-7 Msun per year. Re-analysing the available radial velocity curve, we analysed the light curves. The inclination (i) of the system was found to be 69.71(0.16) deg, while the semi-major axis (a) was computed as 2.246(0.064) Rsun. The mass of the primary component was found to be 0.92(0.08) Msun, while it was obtained as 0.58(0.06) Msun for the secondary component. The radius of the primary component was computed as 0.98(0.03) Rsun, while it was computed as 0.80(0.02) Rsun for the secondary component. We demonstrated that HH Boo should be a member of the A-type subclass of W UMa binaries.
