Further photometric observations of the cataclysmic variable PG 1012-029

Abstract

We report time series photometric observations of PG 1012-029, conducted during 1990 and 1991. Light curves of three consecutive eclipses recorded in a single night are presented. The enhanced pre-eclipse hump in our data provides the evidence for a bright hot spot in the system. The orbital period derived by us is not significantly different from the value reported by Penning et al., (1984) value. Fourier analysis of the data did not reveal any short-term periodicities in the system.
