Up: The variable light

1. Introduction

Photometric studies of BH Vir(tex2html_wrap_inline639) were published by Kitamura et al. (1957), Koch (1967), Hoffmann (1982), Scaltriti (1988) and Arevalo et al. (1987). These authors found large intrinsic variations on BH Vir light curves on all phases. Hoffmann (1982) concluded that these instrinsic variations were due to both components and suggested that BH Vir should join the short-priod RS CVn group. Scaltriti et al. (1985) attributed the activity to the primary star. Zeilik et al. (1990) and Zhai et al. (1990) made some starspot models to fit the light curves. Since the variation of the light curve is very complicated, we selected this system in our programme and made photometric observations.
