Abstract

We present a photometric study of the near contact binary BX And. UBV photometric observations have been carried out in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2000. The observations made in 1998 and 2000 yielded two complete light curves in each color. The intrinsic color indices indicate that primary component has a temperature of ∼6690 K corresponding to spectral type of ∼F4.

The photometric mass ratio of the system was well determined. The corresponding light curves were analyzed by Wilson–Devinney code. From combining the photometric solution with spectroscopic elements, the absolute parameters were determined. Finally, the position of both components in H–R, M–L, and M–R diagrams are given.
