Abstract:
    New BV light curves of the short-period eclipsing binary system DD Mon
    have been obtained. Light-curve variability is seen in both B and V
    bands as compared with the light curves obtained in 1986 by Yamasaki
    et al. (1990AJ.....99.1218Y). The light curves are analyzed by using
    Wilson-Devinney's synthetic light-curve program, and the present
    photometric solution reveals that DD Mon is a near-contact binary with
    the secondary component filling the Roche lobe. Combined with Yamasaki
    et al.'s (1990AJ.....99.1218Y) spectroscopic results, absolute
    quantities of DD Mon are derived: mass of the primary
    M_1_=1.05+/-0.08M_{sun}_, mass of the secondary
    M_2_=0.47+/-0.04M_{sun}_, radius of the primary
    R_1_=1.36+/-0.04R_{sun}_, radius of the secondary
    R_2_=1.03+/-0.03R_{sun}_. These results show that the components of DD
    Mon have evolved away from the ZAMS and through a mass-transfer
    process to the present semi-detached state. The variation in shape of
    the light curve may be caused by the evolution of the system and the
    activity of dark spots.
