Fifty Years of TT Arietis
Abstract
Results of photometric observations of the permanent negative superhumper TT Ari in 1961/62 and 1966 are presented. Together with data from the literature they are used to discuss the negative superhump amplitudes AnSH and the amplitudes Abeat of the modulation with the beat period Pbeat. Both amplitudes are shown to vary considerably from one season to another. Three correlations are found: (1) between AnSH and Abeat, (2) between AnSH and PnSH, and (3) between Abeat and Pbeat.
