1 GCVS Team Cen X-3 (3U 1118-60). B-V: +1.04; U-B: -0.08; Min II 13.39. Porb var. The shape of the light curve varies. Epoch of Min I is given. Epochs of Min II coincide with the moments of X-ray eclipses. X-ray pulses are observed with Ppuls = 4.834477s (epoch JD2442785.3); Ppuls decreases [M. van der Klis, J.M.Bonnet-Bidaud, N.R.Robba, AsAp 88, 8, 1980.]. No rapid optical oscillations were found.
