Scientific paper

The period of the β Cephei variable, BW Vulpeculae, is increasing all the time at a rate of (14.24±0.20)×10-10d/d. The residual in the time of light maximum shows a quasi-sinusoidal variation with a period of about 26.3 years and an amplitude of 0.022 - 0.024 days. If this is interpreted as the light-time effect in a binary orbit, then the orbit will have a size a sin i = 1.91 - 2.08 AU and an eccentricity e = 0.52.
