Abstract

Timings for the eclipse contact points and mid-eclipse, length of ingress and egress, average magnitude during eclipse, and timings for out-of-eclipse variations have been determined in the V band for the long period eclipsing binary e Aurigae during the 2009–2011 eclipse. This has been done with data from the International Epsilon Aurigae Campaign 2009 and AAVSO. Comparison with data from previous eclipses has also been made.
