Abstract
The radial velocity measurements of the single line spectroscopic binary andβ Cephei star NU Centauri made during 1985, 1987, and 1988 are presented. New ephemeris with a pulsation period of 0d.1696401 has been derived by combining the three season data. The new ephemeris also fits well for the earlier data published in the literature.
