Abstract

The light variation of AG Dra is considered as a result of a variation of free-free emission from a gaseous envelope around the hot component. The emission measure of the envelope at a light maximum is estimated to be about Ne2V = 6.5 × 1059 cm−3. The amplitude of the light variation in the U band should be less than 1.4 mag. which is consistent with the observed results. The emission measure of the envelope might vary according to a variation of mass transfer rate in an elliptical binary system.
