In the last 20 years, over the course of the Araucaria project, we have studied 20 very special eclipsing binary systems in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Based on these systems and our newly calibrated surface brightness-colour relation we have measured a distance to the LMC that is accurate to 1%. This is currently the best benchmark for...

We extended the sample of 35 eclipsing binaries compiled by Graczyk+ (2017ApJ...837....7G) by searching for detached systems in the literature suitable for a precise distance determination. Our sample contains 81 systems (51 on the northern hemisphere and 30 on the southern one). Their basic parameters are presented in Table 1. We used Tycho-2...
Aims. Surface brightness – colour relations (SBCRs) are very useful tools for predicting the angular diameters of stars. They offer the possibility to calculate very precise spectrophotometric distances by the eclipsing binary method or the Baade-Wesselink method. Double-lined Detached Eclipsing Binary stars (SB2 DEBs) with precisely known...
