Photometric analysis of the eclipsing binary star AI Draconis
New photometric data from the eclipsing binary star AI Draconis has beenanalyzed with the method of Wilson-Devinney. The system shows a periodincrease of about 0.91 sec per century, which corresponds to a masstransfer from the less to the more massive component at a rate of 7.510-7 Msun/yr under the conservative mass transferhypothesis. We also suggest that the system has an unseen componentwhich orbits around the mass center of the triplet system with a periodof about 23 yrs. We found that the projectional angular separationbetween the third star and eclipsing pair varies from 0.048 arcsec to0.235 arcsec. These results suggestive of a third body should be checkedin the future with more sensitive observations.
