New light-times curve of eclipsing binary AM Leo

Abstract

We present 72 photoelectric and CCD times of minima of eclipsing binary AM Leo obtained mainly during 1996-2017 at Kourovka Astronomical Observatory of the Ural Federal University in Russia. We obtained new values of period of 50.5 years and eccentricity of 0.28 of the orbit of the eclipsing pair around the mass center of the system AM Leo with the third body. These results have been received taking into account the times of minima taken from literature and obtained from JD⊙ = 2435570 to JD⊙ = 2457835. © Konkoly Observatory Budapest, 2017.
