CI Aur is a short-period Algol type eclipsing binary with a period of 1.870052 days. Photoelectric observations in the UBV system were made between November 1984 and January 1985. The UBV light curves show some random flickering and short-time variations. The photometric solutions were analyzed by the Wilson-Devinney method. CI Aur is a semidetached system, with the less massive component (secondary star) filling its Roche lobe. The mass ratio is 0.687 and its orbital inclination is 74°42. Autoregressive power spectral analysis and harmonic analysis for the light curves of CI Aur were made. The results demonstrate that the oscillations are multiple quasi-periodic and have low amplitudes. The gas stream from the secondary star of CI Aur strikes the trailing hemisphere of the primary star. The disk, produced by the star-stream interaction, is unstable. The authors discuss two models of CI Aur.
