Scientific paper

Near-infrared photometric and low-resolution spectroscopic observations of epsilon Aurigae at two phases during the current eclipse are presented. The eclipse depths are found to be wavelength-independent in the infrared right up to 2.5 microns. There is no infrared excess at wavelengths shorter than 2.5 microns. The light absorbing particles in the eclipsing body must be larger than 10 microns in size.
