V965 Cephei revisited: evidence for a binary system

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2025-11-25 v2

Abstract

We extended the OCO-C diagram for V965 Cep with all currently available observations in the Johnson V filter and added unfiltered ones. The new, up-to-date OCO-C diagram shows that the seeming period change previously revealed by the author does not occur uniformly. Instead, the near-parabolic part of the OCO-C diagram can be a part of a periodic curve. This could be a sign of the second body in the system. Based on our observations, we also estimated the BVB-V index of the star to be 0.48±0.050.48 \pm 0.05 at maximum brightness and 0.57±0.050.57 \pm 0.05 at minimum brightness.
