The period change rate in the RS CVn binary HD 5303.
Abstract
From the observed timings of primary eclipse of HD 5303 we find that its 2.7 day period is increasing at a rate of about one second per year. In this paper we consider the implications of this in terms of mass transfer or mass loss from the system.
