Abstract:
   New UBV observations of a contact binary AB And obtained during 1988, 1989, 
   1990, 1991 and 1992 observing seasons at the Ankara University Observatory 
   are presented. Sixteen new (nine primary and seven secondary) times of 
   minimum light were obtained. The new times of minima reveal the following 
   improved light elements: 
   Min I = HJD 2448513.54325(+/-0.00020)+0.33189044(+/-0.00000025)E
