Our goal is to determine, with high accuracy, the physical and orbital parameters of two double-lined eclipsing binary systems, where the components are two giant stars. We also aim to study the evolutionary status of the binaries, to…

A static binary star solution for OGLE-2008-BLG-513 has been found. The mass ratio and separation for this solution are q~0.28, s~0.86. This model has a chi^2 comparable to the chi^2 of the model with a planetary mass ratio and orbital…

35 Eclipsing binaries presenting unambiguous total eclipses were selected from a subsample of the list of Wyrzykowski et al. (2003). The photometric elements are given for the I curve in DiA photometry, as well as approximate Teff and…
