Abstract:
    A complete photometric analysis of U,B,V photometry for the
    short-period solar-type V417 Aquilae is presented. Seven epochs of
    minimum light were determined from our observations covering two
    primary and five secondary eclipses. A period study covering some
    58,000 orbital cycles reveals two distinct eras of constant period
    connected by what may be a smooth transition. The periods determined
    for the two eras are nearly the same, differing by ~0.16s. During the
    intervening 23 years, a 0.1d jump in residuals takes place. The light
    curves show that V417 Aql is a W-type W UMa system with a 25min time
    of constant light in the primary minimum. The light curves are fairly
    symmetrical. A simultaneous three-color solution was computed using
    the Wilson synthetic light-curve code. Our photometry in conjunction
    with the solution reveal that V417 Aql consists of G0 V and F9 V
    spectral type components in contact with a 19% fill-out and a mass
    ratio of 0.37. Its nearly equal eclipse depths, the low mass ratio,
    and the moderate fill-out suggest that V417 Aql may be evolving into
    an A-type W UMa binary.
