| Description | We present a principle component analysis of multicolour light variations of the He-strong magnetic chemically peculiar star HD 37776 and its (O-C) diagram. The period increase rate found, (dP/dt)/P=5.5x10^{-6}/year, is consistent with the conception of angular momentum loss through magnetically confined stellar wind. |
