Abstract: | We carried out accurate ( $\sigma _{obs} \approx 0\mathop .\limits^m 003$ ) W BV R photoelectric photometry of RR Lyn and obtained light curves of this eclipsing system. Our analysis of the light curves using an iterative differential-correction method yields a self-consistent system of geometrical and physical characteristics of the two components of the system and their evolutionary states. The system's age is estimated to be t=(1.08±0.15)×109 yr. Observations in all filters are fitted satisfactorily by the same geometry (r 1,2, i, e, and ω). An analysisof blanketing effects in the W, B, V, and R bands indicates that the atmospheric chemical compositions of both components of the system are peculiar: the primary shows an excess (Fe/H]I=0.31±0.08) and the secondary a deficit (Fe/H]II=?0.24±0.06) of heavy elements. This is in qualitative and quantitative agreement with the results of an earlier spectroscopic study of RR Lyn by Lyubimkov and Rachkovskaya (1995). The derived physical characteristics of RR Lyn provide evidence that the metallicity effects are probably restricted to the stellar surface layers, while their interiors have normal chemical abundances. |
