Abstract

(Abstract only) In this paper, I present photometric data collected on two β Lyrae-type eclipsing binary systems: NSVS 7322420 and NSVS 5726288. I also present the results of the analysis of the data. This was done by modeling the systems using the Wilson-Devinney code to determine the characteristics of the stellar components. The analysis indicates that NSVS 7322420 is a semi-detached system while NSVS 5726288 is a detached system.
