THE OUTBURST OF THE T-TAURI STAR EX-LUPI IN 1994

We have observed an outburst of the T Tauri star EX Lup in March 1994. We present both photometric (BVR) and spectroscopic (low and medium r esolution) observations carried out during the decline after outburst. The star appears much bluer during outburst due to an increased emiss ion of a hot continuum. This is accompanied by a strong increase of th e veiling of photospheric lines. We observe inverse P Cygni profiles o f many emission lines over a large brightness range of EX Lup. We brie fly discuss these features towards the model of magnetospherically sup ported accretion of disk material.
