V471 Tauri

Guinan and McCook continued photoelectric photometry of the Hyades short period eclipsing binary V471 Tau (K0 V + wd; P = ) with the 0.8m Four College APT. Complete multiwavelength light curves were obtained including good coverage of primary eclipse of the white dwarf. Modelling of the light curves reveals the locations and sizes of cool starspots on the dK star. This photometric study was carried out as part of a cooperative study with F. Walter (SUNY-Stonybrook) of HST/GHRS spectrophotometry. Observations of V471 Tau are continuing.
