\centerline{\ft UPDATE ON THE ECLIPSING BINARY V514 Per}

The eclipsing binary V514 Per was originally identified by Prosser (1993),
who provides a finding chart for the system.   
V514 Per is located at RA = 3\fh 16\fmm 4\fss 6,
DEC = 49\degr 56\farcmm 3\farcss\ and has magnitude approximately V$\simeq$11.4.
The observations by Prosser (1993) suggested a relatively short period
of 21.6 hrs for the system.    In order to check the reality of this solution,
intensive monitoring of the system was undertaken  over a seven night
period in early October 1995.    The CCD photometry was obtained with the
Whipple Observatory 48inch telescope on Mt. Hopkins, Arizona.  Relative
photometry was obtained using the same set of comparison stars as in
Prosser (1993).   Approximately 140 observations were obtained and are
available upon request.

Working with this larger dataset of observations,  a new period of 
P $\simeq$ 1.8 days has been found using estimates of the times of primary
and secondary minima; essentially double the initial period reported in
Prosser (1993).   The corresponding light curve is shown in Figure 1, phased
at primary minimum that occurred at JD $\simeq$ 2449996.7.

The available observations indicate that the primary
and secondary eclipses are very similar, with primary eclipse being only
$\sim 0.04$ mag fainter than that for secondary eclipse.     This longer period
concurs with information from Popper (1994), in which echelle spectral 
observations
indicated that the system contained approximately equal components having a
period double that initially reported in Prosser (1993).   Popper notes
that the spectral type in this near equal mass system is roughly F5 and
that the interstellar (or circumstellar) Na D lines are unusually strong
and broader than usual for interstellar lines.
