WASP light curve of the eclipsing binary VZ CVn

Abstract

The WASP light curve of the eclipsing binary VZ CVn, consisting of more than 14000 individual observations, is analyzed for photometric elements using the modeling code of Đurašević (1992). The spectroscopic parameters are adopted from the recent radial velocity work by Pribulla et al. (2009). The results of the study include new times of minimum light, an improved ephemeris, and the updated physical and orbital parameters of the system.
