Scientific paper

New times of minima and ephemeredes are presented on the over-contact system GR Tauri. An observed minus calculated (O-C), times of minimum chart was constructed and based on statistical analysis the orbital period of the system is found to be decreasing with a rate of dP/dE = 3.33^-4 seconds Yr^-1 since 1931. Both components are filling their respective critical Roche lobes with fillouts f = 0.11 and 0.95. The light curve displays the O'Connell effect which is discussed on the assumption mass is going from the primary to the secondary creating a hot spot. The TRO, thermal relaxation oscillations (Lucy & Wilson 1979), theory is discussed as an explanation.
