Abstract

Abstract We present V and I photometry for the Be/X-ray binary Swift J010745.0-722740 taken in 1997–2020. The data show recurring outbursts, with an amplitude up to 0.4 mag and an improved orbital period of 1180.0 ± 0.3 days. The light curve during outburst has a double-peaked profile, with a rapid rise and gradual decline. The effective temperature of the outburst region is ∼6200 K, much cooler than that of an underlying Be star.
