Description
We present the results from the 2002-2004 seasons of photometric
monitoring of the eclipsing system KH 15D. The eclipse has continued to
evolve in secular fashion, and the eclipses are now approximately 24
days in length, or half the period. A periodogram of the most recent
data confirms the spectroscopic period of 48.38 days determined by
Johnson et al. (2004). Phasing nine years (1995-2004) of photometric
data shows substantial evolution in the width and depth of the eclipses.
These results are interpreted and discussed in the context of the recent
models for this system put forward by Winn et al. (2004) and Chiang
& Murray-Clay (2004).
