V455 Aur is a detached eclipsing binary containing two F-stars in a 3.15-d orbit with a small eccentricity. Its eclipses were discovered in data from the Hipparcos satellite and a spectroscopic orbit was obtained by Griffin (2001, 2013). Griffin found a long-term variation of the systemic velocity of the eclipsing system due to a third body in a highly eccentric orbit (e = 0.73) with a period of 4200 d. We have used these data, the light curve of V455 Aur from the TESS satellite, and the Gaia EDR3 parallax to determine the physical properties of the components of the system to high precision. We find the eclipsing stars to have masses of 1.289 +/- 0.006 Msun and 1.232 +/- 0.005 Msun, radii of 1.389 +/- 0.011 Rsun and 1.318 +/- 0.014 Rsun and effective temperatures of 6500 +/- 200 and 6400 +/- 200 K. Light from the tertiary component is directly detected for the first time, in the form of a third light of l_3 = 0.028 +/- 0.002 in the solution of the TESS light curve. From this l_3, theoretical spectra and empirical calibrations we estimate the star to have a mass of 0.72 +/- 0.05 Msun, a radius of 0.74 +/- 0.05 Rsun and a temperature of 4300 +/- 300 K. The inclination of the outer orbit is 53 +/- 3 degrees, so the two orbits in the system are not coplanar. We show that a measured spectroscopic light ratio of the two eclipsing stars could lower the uncertainties in radius from 1% to 0.25%. A detailed spectroscopic analysis could also yield precise temperatures and chemical abundances of the system, thus making V455 Aur one of the most precisely measured eclipsing systems known.

$zeta$ Phoenicis is a bright binary system containing B6V and B8V stars. It has deep total and annular eclipses, a slightly eccentric orbit with a period of 1.669 d, apsidal motion and a third body on a wider orbit. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Sa
tellite light curve and published radial velocities of this system are analysed to determine masses of 3.91 +/- 0.06 Msun and 2.54 +/- 0.03 Msun and radii of 2.84 +/- 0.02 Rsun and 1.89 +/- 0.01 Rsun. The resulting distance to the system is in agreement with its trigonometric parallax. The physical properties of the stars, with the exception of the effective temperature of the secondary component, can be matched by the predictions of several sets of theoretical stellar evolutionary models for a solar chemical composition and an age of 70 to 90 Myr. A spectroscopic analysis of this system is encouraged for the determination of the photospheric chemical composition of the stars, plus improved measurements of their masses and effective temperatures.
V505 Per is a detached eclipsing binary containing two F5 V stars in a 4.22-d circular orbit. We use a light curve from the TESS satellite and published radial velocity measurements to establish the properties of the system to high precision. The mas
ses of the stars are 1.275 +/- 0.004 Msun and 1.258 +/- 0.003 Msun, and their radii are 1.294 +/- 0.002 Rsun and 1.264 +/- 0.002 Rsun. Adding published effective temperature estimates, we precisely measure the luminosities and absolute bolometric magnitudes of the stars, and the distance to the system. The distance is slightly shorter than that obtained from the Gaia EDR3 parallax, a discrepancy most easily explained by uncertainty in the 2MASS K-band apparent magnitude. We reanalyse existing light and radial velocity curves from three previous studies of this system and conclude that, in this case, formal errors are reliable for the spectroscopic orbits but not light curves, that errorbars from a residual-permutation algorithm are suitable for light curves but not spectroscopic orbits, and that published results are not always reproducible. The precisions in the measured properties of V505 Per are high and among the best ever obtained for a detached eclipsing binary system.
AN Cam is a little-studied eclipsing binary containing somewhat evolved components in an orbit with a period of 21.0 d and an eccentricity of 0.47. A spectroscopic orbit based on photoelectric radial velocities was published in 1977. AN Cam has been
observed using the TESS satellite in three sectors: the data were obtained in long-cadence mode and cover nine eclipses. By modelling these data and published radial velocities we obtain masses of 1.380 +/- 0.021 Msun and 1.402 +/- 0.025 Msun, and radii of 2.159 +/- 0.012 Rsun and 2.646 +/- 0.014 Rsun. We also derive a precise orbital ephemeris from these data and recent times of minimum light, but find that the older times of minimum light cannot be fitted assuming a constant orbital period. This could be caused by astrophysical or instrumental effects; forthcoming TESS observations will help the investigation of this issue. We use the Gaia EDR3 parallax and optical/infrared apparent magnitudes to measure effective temperatures of 6050 +/- 150 K and 5750 +/- 150 K: the primary star is hotter but smaller and less massive than its companion. A comparison with theoretical models indicates that the system has an approximately solar chemical composition and an age of 3.3 Gyr. Despite the similarity of their masses the two stars are in different evolutionary states: the primary is near the end of its main-sequence lifetime and the secondary is now a subgiant. AN Cam is a promising candidate for constraining the strength of convective core overshooting in 1.4 Msun stars.
V1022 Cas has been known as a spectroscopic binary for a century. It was found to be eclipsing based on photometry from the Hipparcos satellite, and an astrometric orbit was recently obtained from near-infrared interferometry. We present the first hi
gh-precision measurement of the radii of the stars based on light curves obtained by the TESS satellite. Combined with published radial velocities from high-resolution spectra, we measure the masses of the stars to be 1.626 +/- 0.001 Msun and 1.609 +/- 0.001 Msun, and the radii to be 2.591 +/- 0.026 Rsun and 2.472 +/- 0.027 Rsun. The 12.16-d orbit is eccentric and the stars rotate sub-synchronously, so the system is tidally unevolved. A good match to these masses and radii, and published temperatures of the stars, is found for several sets of theoretical stellar evolutionary models, for a solar metallicity and an age of approximately 2 Gyr. Four separate distance determinations to the system are available, and are in good agreement. The distances are based on surface brightness calibrations, theoretical bolometric corrections, the Gaia parallax, and the angular size of the astrometric orbit. A detailed spectroscopic analysis of the system to measure chemical abundances and more precise temperatures would be helpful.
We report follow-up spectroscopic observations of the 1.62 day, K-type, detached, active, near-circular, double-lined eclipsing binary EPIC 219511354 in the open cluster Ruprecht 147, identified previously on the basis of photometric observations fro
m the Kepler/K2 mission. This is the fourth eclipsing system analyzed in this cluster. A combined analysis of the light curve and radial velocities yields accurate masses of M(Aa) = 0.912 +/- 0.013 MSun and M(Ab) = 0.822 +/- 0.010 MSun for the primary (star Aa) and secondary (Ab), along with radii of R(Aa) = 0.920 +/- 0.016 RSun and R(Ab) = 0.851 +/- 0.016 RSun, and effective temperatures of 5035 +/- 150 and 4690 +/- 130 K, respectively. Comparison with current models of stellar evolution for the known age and metallicity of the cluster reveals that both radii are larger (by 10--14%) and both temperatures cooler (by $sim$6%) than theoretically predicted, as is often seen in M dwarfs. This is likely caused by the significant stellar activity in the system, manifested here by 6% peak-to-peak out-of-eclipse variability, a filled-in H$alpha$ line, and its detection as an X-ray source. We also find EPIC 219511354 to be a hierarchical triple system, with a low-mass tertiary in an eccentric 220 day orbit.
