Abstract
AbstractWe present the results of 10 years of photometric CCD observations of the intermediate polar V709 Cas obtained by using different instruments during 2003–2013. We detected a new variability with a period of Pnew = 0.d016449979(5) which seems to be real. The spin variability is not clearly seen in all our data, so we are unable to study any evolution of the white dwarf rotation. From the best night (in 2010) we obtained a spin period of Pspin = 311.s8(5). We analyzed the orbital variability using (O – C) analysis. We found no variations of the orbital period on a timescale of 10 years, but the linear fit to the (O – C) diagram shows that the value of the orbital period is Porb = 0.d2222123(6), which is close to the earlier published values.
