Differential corrections analysis of the UBV observations of LT Pavonis

The first photoelectric analysis of the W UMa system LT Pav, based on U, B and V light curves, is presented. The light curves are modeled using the Wilson-Devinney approach. Single passband and multi passband solutions made with normal points against those obtained using individual observations are...

description The first photoelectric analysis of the W UMa system LT Pav, based on U, B and V light curves, is presented. The light curves are modeled using the Wilson-Devinney approach.
