摘要
Various times of light minima of the contact binary CK Boo are compiled and the correspnoding O C curve is analyzed with Kalimeris at al.’s method (1994). It is shown that the orbital period varies in a quasi sinusoidal form with a period of about 14 years and an amplitude of 0.26 × 10 -5 days while it undergoes a secular period increase dP/dE =+4 97 × 10 -7 days/year. The mechanisms that could explain the changes in the orbital period are also discussed.
