Abstract Photometry of τ Persei was obtained during ingress and egress of its 1989 eclipse and analyzed using a simple geometrical model. The estimated depths of eclipse are 0.62, 0.43, and 0.23 mag inU, B, andV, respectively, which imply that all but ∼17% of the A-type secondary is covered by the G-giant primary at minimum light. When combined with observations from the 1984 eclipse, the data yield a photometric period of 1515.869±0.059 days.
