Abstract:
B and V photometry of HD 224085 obtained on 21 nights between 1979 November and 1980 February is presented. The amplitudes of light variation observed are ~ 0.15mag in both B and V. The photometric period is found to be P/sub phot = 6.7026 ± 0.0034 day. A new orbital solution obtained from the available radial velocity data shows that the orbit period is 6.724464 day. The radius of the visible primary estimated from the Barnes Evens surface brightness relation is ~ 1.9 R, indicating a position above the main sequence.
