Abstract

Five new photoelectrically times minima of Algol are reported, JD (hel.) 2443909.6538 , 2444167.7182, 2444236.5321, 2444560.5340, and 2444623.6180. The ephermis of Friesboes-Conde, Herczeg, and Hog (2434705.5493 + 2.86732442Ed) is still a good predictor if a correction term with 32-year periodicity is added.
