The influence of the brightness distribution across the disk of a star on its lunar occultation curve is investigated. A method is described which allows to find the radial brightness distribution across a stellar disk directly from the occultation curve. From an analysis of the average occultation curve the brightness distribution across the disk of the red giant μ Gem is derived. The results are compared with the calculations of extended atmosphere models for late-type stars.
