Light curve solutions of 50 eclipsing binaries with circular orbits in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Abstract
In this paper we present the global parameters of 50 eclipsing binaries with circular orbits in the Small Magellanic Cloud, obtained by light curve solutions. The statistical analysis of the results leads us to the following conclusions: (a) The majority of the investigated eclipsing stars are close binaries which components almost or wholly fill their Roche lobes; (b) The majority of these components are hot stars; (c) About 60% of the secondaries are larger than the primaries; (d) 1/3 of the investigated binaries were modeled by semidetached configurations and 2/3 by detached configurations; (e) 30% of the stars in our sample are Algols.
