Abstract
- Aims.Double-lined eclipsing binaries are a traditional tool to test the capability of the stellar evolutionary models. If such binaries show apsidal motion, it is also possible to check, in addition to their absolute dimensions, some aspects of their internal structure. In order to perform this additional test, we monitored the times of a minimum of three eclipsing binaries with accurate absolute dimensions.
