Abstract

The dependence of mass ratio of eclipsing binary systems on period has been studied. It has been found that semi-detached systems obey the relationm 2/m 1=0.64–0.079P orm 2/m 1=0.29–0.028P depending upon whether the mass ratio is >0.3 or <0.3. The mass ratio of deteched systems generally appears to be independent of the period.
