Scientific paper

The bright star 42 Per is an ellipsoidal variable with a period of 1.76535 days. New U, B, and V photometric data and radial velocities are analyzed in combination with previously published data. The model presented is a detached system with a mass ratio of approximately 0.19. If observed, a predicted shallow eclipse could contribute to a more reliable determination of the physical properties of the suspected M-type secondary star and the evolutionary state of the entire system.
