Abstract

UBV photoelectric photometry of the eclipsing binary system AW UMa has been presented. A slightly improved period of 0 d. 4387304 has been given. The colour of the system has been discussed. Eccentricity is present in the system. Light and colour curves show that intrinsic light variations may be present in the system. The presence of mass transfer is a possibility.
