Scientific paper

New photoelectric observations of RW Per were obtained, and photometric solutions were carried out for these data, for earlier photoelectric observations, and for archival photographic observations. It is concluded that no third light exists in this binary, and that the original nodal variation explanation for historical changes in the depth of primary eclipse is therefore incorrect. A revised nodal variation hypothesis is suggested. It is also noted that these changes could have been produced by a gradual increase in the polar radius of the hot star, perhaps related to a change in that star's rotational velocity.
