Scientific paper

Observations of the short-period eclipsing binary XZ Leo were made with the Valparaiso University telescope during the spring of 2006; complete VRI light curves were obtained. These show minima of nearly equal depths but some variation in the heights of the maxima. The new light curves differ somewhat from previously published ones. Preliminary modeling of the light curves, together with previously published radial velocity data, has been done using the Wilson-Devinney code, and the results of this study will be presented. This research is partially supported by the Indiana Space Grant Consortium.
