| Abstract: |
CCD uVJIC photometry was obtained for three eclipsing binaries in the Magellanic Clouds and the preliminary analyses of their light curves has been made using a modified Wilson code. The LMC system, MACHO*05:36:48.7—69:17:00, is detached and eccentric, most likely comprising of two similar stars. The system has apsidal motion with a period of 100 ± 5 years. Initial results for two other systems in the SMC, MOA J005018.4—723855 and MOA J005623.5—722123, indicate circular orbits with the former semi-detached and the latter detached with two stars of very similar temperature. |
