Photometric study of AM Herculis.
Abstract
The orbital light curves obtained in 1979 - 1983 in the B band for different states of mean brightness of the system are analyzed. The dependence of the amplitude of orbital light curves on mean brightness is obtained. An increase of the amplitude is observed in the initial and the end stages of the active state. The variation of mean brightness during observations has a semiregular character with the interchanging of wide (500 - 600d) and narrow (350 - 400d) waves with an average cycle of 900d.
