Özet
Öz Times of minima of the contact binary BO Canum Venaticorum (BO CVn) were collected from the literatüre and two new times of secondary minima were determined from the new observations obtained at the Ankara University Observatory. An (O-C) analysis based on the ali available times of minima yields a constant orbital period över the last 14 years instead of a period increase mentioned in the recent literatüre. We commend the future observations of BO CVn to solve the period problem of the system.
