Figure 1: Percent differences between the photometric distances for the individual components of detached eclipsing binaries. Note the position of EK Cep. The data are taken from Ribas et al. (1998). |

Figure 2: Theoretical standard models for EK Cep (without rotation). The upper panel shows the radius of the models as a function of the age (continuous line represents the primary and dashed line denotes the secondary). The middle panel shows the effective temperature ratio TR. The bottom panel presents the apsidal-motion constants for EK Cep. Note that there is an acceptable agreement between radii and TR for a same isochrone (vertical lines). The horizontal lines represent the error bars. |
