Scientific paper

We propose to continue a sequence of warm IRAC photometric measurements of the unusual binary star, Epsilon Aurigae, during the rest of its ongoing total eclipse throughout Cycle 7, in order to better constrain the degree of heating of the now interferometrically-imaged disk. As heated portions of the disk rotate into view, IRAC channels one and two provide a sensitive diagnostic of the infrared excess, which is expected to change as our view of the 550 K cold side of the disk is replaced by the portion heated to >1,000 K by the nearby F0 star, now rotating into view.
