Scientific paper

We present UBVRcIc observations of the double supergiant binary OW Geminorum (F2 Ib-II, G8 IIb), including the first multi-color observations of the secondary eclipse. With a 3.5 year orbital period, its eclipses are only visible every seven years. Previous coverage of the primary eclipse from 1995 indicated that the eclipse was very close to being total. Mid-eclipse in 2002 was well-placed for North American observers and our high time resolution observations show that there is no period of totality. We also present a simultaneous light and radial velocity curve solution using the Wilson-Devinney code. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the AAS Small Research Grants Program for this and other binary star research projects.
