Abstract:
    This paper presents first complete uvby light curves of the late-type
    detached eclipsing binary ZZ UMa (G0V + G8V, P=2.2993d). This binary
    system has been observed during eight campaigns at the Calar Alto
    Observatory (Almeria, Spain) and at the Sierra Nevada Observatory
    (Granada, Spain). 294 points distributed over the binary period and
    covering both eclipses are given. The comparison stars used
    to calculate the differential light curves (SAO 15242 and SAO 15251)
    were confirmed as being good reference stars with constant flux. These
    observations are part of a 6 year uvby and H{beta} monitoring program
    of low mass eclipsing binaries whose main objective is to provide
    accurate absolute astrophysical parameters for late-type main sequence
    stars. Details about the standardisation process and accuracy of the
    photometry are also given. The internal accuracy of the standard
    photometry measured as the mean RMS of the differences between
    standard and observed values for the standard stars observed along the
    program is only a few millimagnitudes. Detailed analysis of ZZ UMa,
    based on these light curves, will be published separately (Clement et
    al., 1997, Cat. <J/A+AS/123/59>).
