Comments on a recent study of VV Orionis.
Abstract
Summary. The observational basis for the model of VV Orionis recently proposed by Duerbeck (1975), involving bidirectional mass transfer in a detached binary system, is reviewed and certain weak points in the material are discussed. The conclusions do not lend unequivocal support to Duerbeck's results. Key words: eclipsing binary - spectroscopic binary - absolute stellar dimensions - stellar evolution
