Scientific paper

Reticon spectroscopy and BVRI(c) photometry of TV Muscae are reported. The system is found to have an extreme mass ratio of 0.135 + or - 0.014 and to be in deep contact (F = 0.13 + or - 0.05). The masses and radii of the primary and secondary components support the evolved nature of A-type WUMa systems. The light curves for 1982 and 1984 are shown to be of about the same shape, but to differ at various phase intervals by up to 0.05 mag without any corresponding change in color index.
