| Abstract: | In April 1984, fourth contact ended the two year long eclipse of Epsilon Aurigae. An astrometric study of the study of the system was carried out by Van de Kamp (1978) leading to the conclusion that the orbit is seen very close to edge on. The eclipse was monitored by a number of groups from the ground and from spacecraft such as the IUE. Ultraviolet observations of the system from IUE have thrown new light on the nature of the system that lead us to conclude that the secondary object is probably a cold, dusty accretion disk surrounding a star that is completely hidden inside the diskCommunication presented at the International Conference on  Astrometric Binaries , held on 13–15 June, 1984, at the Remeis-Sternwarte Bamberg, Germany, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Friedrich Wihelm Bessel (1784–1846). |
