We present a detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of DD CMa, based on published survey photometry and new spectroscopic data. We find an improved orbital period of $P_mathrm{o}= 2.0084530 pm 0.0000006 ~mathrm{d}$. Our spectra reveal H$beta$ and H$alpha$ absorptions with weak emission shoulders and we also find color excess in the WISE multiband photometry, interpreted as signatures of circumstellar matter. We model the $V$-band orbital light curve derived from the ASAS and ASAS-SN surveys, assuming a semidetached configuration and using the mass ratio and temperature of the hotter star derived from our spectroscopic analysis. Our model indicates that the system consists of a B 2.5 dwarf and a B 9 giant of radii 3.2 and 3.7 $mathrm{R_{odot}}$, respectively, orbiting in a circular orbit of radius 6.75 $mathrm{R_{odot}}$. We also found $M_{mathrm{c}} = 1.7 pm 0.1 ~mathrm{M_{odot}}$, $T_{mathrm{c}} = 11350 pm 100 ~mathrm{K}$ and $M_{mathrm{h}} = 6.4 pm 0.1 ~mathrm{M_{odot}}$, $T_{mathrm{h}} = 20000 pm 500 ~mathrm{K}$, for the cooler and hotter star, respectively. We find broad single emission peaks in H$alpha$ and H$beta$ after subtracting the synthetic stellar spectra. Our results are consistent with mass exchange between the stars, and suggest the existence of a stream of gas being accreted onto the early B-type star.
The study of detached eclipsing binaries is one of the most powerful ways to investigate the properties of individual stars and stellar systems. We present preliminary masses, radii and effective temperatures for the eclipsing binary WW Aurigae, whic
We present ULTRACAM photometry and X-Shooter spectroscopy of the eclipsing double white dwarf binary CSS 41177, the only such system that is also a double-lined spectroscopic binary. Combined modelling of the light curves and radial velocities yield
The triple stellar system delta Vel (composed of two A-type and one F-type main sequence stars) is particularly interesting as it contains one of the nearest and brightest eclipsing binaries. It therefore presents a unique opportunity to determine in
V923 Sco is a bright ($V$ = 5.91), nearby ($pi$ = 15.46$pm$0.40 mas) southern eclipsing binary. Because both components are slow rotators, the minimum masses of the components are known with 0.2% precision from spectroscopy. The system seems ideal fo
We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations for 2M 1533+3759 (= NSVS 07826147). It has an orbital period of 0.16177042 day, significantly longer than the 2.3--3.0 hour periods of the other known eclipsing sdB+dM systems. Spectroscopic a
