Abstract:
New B and V photoelectric observations gathered in the years 1989-1990 are
presented. An analysis of the two-colour light curve using the
Wilson-Devinney code indicates that the system is semidetached. The
photometric mass ratio of the system RZ Dra is found to be q=0.45 and its
inclination i=87deg. The secondary, less massive and less luminous
component fills its critical Roche lobe, while the primary one is slightly
below. Using the spectroscopic value of the mass function and the
parameters resulting from the light curve synthesis, the following masses
and radii of components of RZ Dra are estimated: M_1_=1.40M_{sun}_,
M_2_=0.62M_{sun}_, R_1_=1.62R_{sun}_, R_2_=1.12R_{sun}_. Period changes of
the system are also discussed.
