PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATIONS OF ZETA AURIGAE NEAR MINIMUM 1971-72.


The star Zeta Aur was observed with a photoelectric photometer attached to
the 20cm Grubb refractor of Cracow Observatory. The observations were
reduced to the BV system of Johnson-Morgan. Lambda Aur: V=4.70m; B=5.32m
and 2 Aur: V=4.80m; B=6.25m were used as comparison stars. The table
contains the results of the observations; taking into account the differential
extinction).

The relatively large dispersion in the observations is due to bad air
conditions.
