| Abstract: |
We analyze times of maximum and minimum in the long-term light curves of the recently discovered double periodic variables in order to enlighten the nature of their photometric variability. Whereas it seems well established that the short-term variability is strictly periodic and seems to be well explained as ellipsoidal variations in a close binary system, we find the long-term variability not strictly periodic, with an hitherto unexplained origin. |
