TU Horologii - an ellipsoidal variable.
Abstract
From UBV observations, TU Hor is found to be an ellipsoidal variable (V magnitude of 5.925 to 6.025) with a period of 0.935984 day. Analysis of the light variation indicates abnormal reflection behavior in close binary systems. Spectroscopic observations yield an orbital inclination of about 35 deg.
