RW Tri - its Negative Superhumps and System Parameters

Abstract

Negative superhumps are detected in the light curves of RW Tri collected in September 1994 (Smak 1995) and November/December 1957 (Walker 1963). New system parameters, obtained using $K_2$ and $V_{2,rot}\sin i$ (from Poole et al. 2003) and $q$ (estimated from $P_{nSH}$), are $M_1=0.60\pm 0.20M\odot$, $M_2=0.48\pm 0.15M\odot$, $A=1.13\pm 0.09\times 10^{11}$cm and $i=72.5\pm 2.5$.
