Abstract
The light variation of the eclipsing binary μ1 Scorpii has been studied in the effective wave-length 3970 A . The 358 observations obtained have been assembled on the period 1 d. 44627 and the reflected light curve has been analysed for the constants of ellipticity and reflection. The geometrical elements for uniform disks have been calculated from the rectified light curve by a method due to Kopal. These elements give a computed light variation which agrees closely with the observational normals, the probable error per normal being 0 m. 0020. A comparison is made between the results of the photoelectric measurements of Rudnick and Elvey, the photovisual determinations of van Gent and the present work. Combining the photometric results with the spectroscopic elements of O. Struve the masses and dimensions of the components are derived.Keywords
