Abstract

CCD light curves of the Algol type eclipsing binaries DP Cep, AL Gem, FG Gem, UU Leo, CF Tau and AW Vul were analysed using the Wilson-Devinney code and new geometric and absolute parameters were derived. The period variations were studied and the presence of tertiary components is discussed.

Absolute parameters of the eclipsing binary components were also used to determine their current evolutionary state.
