Mass transfer in DQ Herculis.
Abstract
New observations of the 279rn binary period and 71s sinusoidal period are presented. From these and other data we derive an upper and lower bound and an estimate for the mass transfer rate. Luminosity of the system based on the value of the mass transfer rate is discussed. Subject headings: stars: eclipsing binaries - stars: individual - stars: mass loss - stars: novae
