Abstract: | New period (P=3d.067182) of the eclipsing binary system XX Cassiopeiae has been given, which is based on thirty-nine minima. O–C diagram of XX Cas has been presented for the first time, and the period variations present in the system have been analysed. In all seven period increases and four period decreases are noted in the time-interval 1922 to 1983. Strongest period change occurs in the time-interval 1929 to 1933. The total period change in different portions of the O–C diagram ranges from 6.1×10–7 d to 6.3×10–4 d. Appreciable period fluctuations are noted in the time-interval 1922 to 1936. The possibility of the presence of a third body has been suspected. |
