Abstract
We present the first light curve of the newly discovered eclipsing bin ary V1061 Tauri (HD 31679), consisting of 376 observations in the V pa ssband. The primary eclipse appears to be flat bottomed, indicating a total eclipse, but the eclipse is only 0.35 mag deep. An examination o f more than 600 Harvard College Observatory patrol plates yielded 30 t imes of primary minimum, and we present an ephemeris for the system. A nalysis of the light curve with the Wilson-Devinney program reveals th at the system may contain a large amount of third light, the origin of which is presently unknown.
