Abstract:
    A complete period variation analysis and new light curves of V839 Oph
    together with new ephemeris data are presented. The period variation
    was found to be dP/dt=3.1x10^-7d/yr. The period increament indicates
    that the conservative mass transfer rate from the less massive
    component to the more massive one is 6.5x10^-7M_sun_/yr. We fitted
    parabolic and we discuss the possible detection of sinusoidal curves
    to the (O-C) diagram and sinusoidal oscillations with period of about
    20yr and semi-amplitude of 0.0065 day. A simultaneous solution of the
    B and V light curves was computed using the Wilson-Devinney synthetic
    light-curve code. The light curve solution indicates that the A-type W
    UMa-type system is in contact with a filling factor of ~39%.
