| Abstract: |
We present the first results of a study of eclipsing binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). New high-resolution spectroscopic observations are analysed together with published light curves to yield absolute parameters for 8 detached systems in the LMC. All 16 binary components seem to be well represented by current evolutionary models for the LMC metallicity. A first empirical mass-luminosity relation for the LMC is obtained showing no differences with the mass-luminosity relation for the Milky Way. |
