Abstract

The I-band light curve data we use are mainly from OGLE II (Udalski+ 1997AcA....47..319U; Soszynski+ 2004, J/AcA/54/347; Szymanski 2005AcA....55...43S), sometimes supplemented by OGLE III data if it is published.

The radial velocities are provided by Nie & Wood (2014, J/AJ/148/118) for 79 ellipsoidal variables, by Nicholls+ (2010, J/MNRAS/405/1770) for their 11 ellipsoidal variables, and by Nicholls & Wood (2012, J/MNRAS/421/2616) for their 7 eccentric binaries.

 

The light curve photometry, supplemented by K-band photometry from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) catalog (Cutri+ 2003, II/246), provides the K magnitude and the I-K color.

 

We adopted LMC distance modulus (DM) of 18.49 (de Grijs+ 2014AJ....147..122D) and reddening E(B-V)=0.08 (Keller & Wood 2006ApJ...642..834K).
