Photometric observations in the UBV system are presented for the eclipsing binary FO Hydra (FO Hya). An analysis of the observed times of minimum light yields revised elements, with the times of primary minima given by Min I (JD) = 244 4717.7658 + 0.469 5571E. The light curve of FO Hya is shown to have the defining characteristics of the β Lyrae class of eclipsing binaries. The differential correc...
