Abstract
New BV light curves of the A-type W UMa star AQ Psc (P = 0.476d) have been observed and are described. A few times of minimum light are obtained and the ephemeris is improved. The light curves are analyzed for the binary parameters with a light curve synthesis method. Combining the results with Lu and Rucinski’s spectroscopic mass ratio we determined the masses and radii of the components: M1 = 1.69Mʘ, M2 = 0.38Mʘ, R1 = 1.77Rʘ, and R2 = 0.89Rʘ.
