The major characteristics in the ultraviolet of the 1982-84 eclipse of Eps Aur as observed with IUE by various workers are summarized. This star can be observed over the entire IUE wavelength range, from 1200 to 3200 A, in low dispersion, allowing eclipse light curves to be obtained in broadband regions, but due to its steep spectral gradient and the sensitivities of IUE cameras, high resolution exposures adequately cover only the regions from 1700-1900 and 2400-3200 A. In many ways, the UV data confirms or expands upon interpretations of the stem made from observations in other wavelength regions, but in other respects the system remains as enigmatic as before.
