Description:
   The photometric elements of HU Tauri are derived from an analysis of its
   blue and visual light curves using the Wilson and Devinney (1971, ApJ 166,
   605) light curve synthesis method. Combining the photometric elements
   and spectroscopic orbital elements the absolute dimensions of the
   system are derived.
