THE THIRD BODY IN RR LYNCIS REVISITED

The times of minima of the bright, eccentric eclipsing binary RR Lyncis are reinvestigated. The data are sparse but on balance probably do support an earlier conclusion that the system contains a low-mass, < 0.1 M-circle dot, third body, but there is no evidence that the orbit is eccentric. The likely period is about 16 years but the amplitude of the light-travel-time effect is small at 0(d).00194 and at the limit of detection.
