Period lengthening in the V444 Cygni system and the mass loss by the Wolf--Rayet component

Journal Article · · Sov. Astron. Lett. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6150932
New photoelectric photometry confirms that the period of V444 Cyg is lengthening at a rate P = 0.202 +- 0.018 sec/yr, implying a rate M = -(1.02 +- 0.20) x 10/sup -5/M/sub O//yr of mass loss by the WN5 component.
