Using W OOD 's (1972) model we have analyzed M EINUNGER 's (1977) B and V photoelectric light curves – as yet unsolved–of the W UMa‐type eclipsing binary AZ Vir, for which no photometric elements have as yet been determined. Our results describe AZ Vir as a contact pair in which the star eclipsed at the deeper minimum is smaller than its companion. AZ Vir appears to conform to the general properties of the W‐type subclass of W UMa systems.
