Abstract

The results of photometric and spectral observations of T CrB obtained in a wide range of wavelengths in 2011–2023 are presented. We use the near-IR light curves to determine a new ephemeris JDmin=2455828,9+227,55E  for the times of light minima when the red giant is located between the observer and the hot component. The flux ratio Ha/Hb varied from -3 to -8  in 2020–2023, which may be due to a change in the flux ratio between the X-ray and optical ranges. It is shown that the value of Ha//Hb  anticorrelates with the rate of accretion onto the hot component of the system. Based on high-speed follow-up observations obtained on June 8, 2023, we detected a variability of the He II 4686  line with a characteristic time-scale of -25 min, the amplitude of variability in the B-band was -0.m0,7
. Simulations of the near-IR light curves accounting for the ellipsoidal effect allowed us to obtain the parameters of the binary system: the Roche lobe filling factor of the cool component m= 1,0, the mass ratio q=Mcool/Mhot@[0.5,0.77], the orbital inclination i@[55,63]. A comparison of the light curve obtained in 2005–2023 with the 1946 outburst template made it possible to predict the date of the upcoming outburst—January 2024.
