Abstract

CC Cassiopeiae is an eclipsing binary star of small amplitude. An approximate ephemeris was determined soon after its discovery, but the system has been largely neglected, and the initial ephemeris has never been adequately verified. Sixty-five photoelectric observations of CC Cassiopeiae were made from August, 1978 through January, 1979. Results indicate that the existing ephemeris requires revision. A new ephemeris is found to be: J.D. Min (Hel.) = 2443818.279 + 3.368867*E
