Figure 1: tex2html_wrap_inline1704 diagram of V 700 Cyg based on the linear ephemeris. Photoelectric and CCD minima, as well as mean values of several minimum determinations are shown as filled circles, single visual and photographic minima are shown as empty circles

A linear least squares solution of the available minima of V 700 Cyg, listed in Table 1 (available from cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr), yields the following solution:
eqnarray248

Figure 2: tex2html_wrap_inline1706 diagram of AW Vir based on the linear ephemeris. Photoelectric and CCD minima, as well as mean values of several minimum determinations are shown as filled circles, single visual and photographic minima are shown as empty circles

A linear least squares solution of the available minima of AW Vir, listed in Table 2 (available from cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr), yields the following solution:
eqnarray257

The tex2html_wrap_inline1708 diagram of V 700 Cyg (Fig. 1 (click here)) indicates short-term period instability, while the diagram of AW Vir (Fig. 2 (click here)) indicates only marginal period changes - something quite unusual for a W UMa system that has been under observation for so long.
