Abstract
Photoelectric observations of the bright eclipsing binary system HU Tauri are presented. The observations were made with standardB andV filters. Observations made during the eclipses yielded six epochs of minimum light. A study of all the available times of minimum light has been made. Analysis of all the photoelectric times of minimum light yielded the following new ephemeris: JD⊙ 2441275.3166 +2 d. 0563107E. Asymmetries in the light curves of HU Tauri were noticed.
