EUVE observed the eclipsing RS CVn system AR Lac in October 1993. The differential emission measure shows a double-peaked structure similar to the two-temperature distribution seen in X-rays. The best-fit Fe abundance is 0.4 solar. The DS light curve shows a deep primary eclipse. The slow egress from eclipse may be due the presence of spatially extended, optically-thick “prominences” in the equatorial plane of the K star.
