Abstract
The characterization of low-mass binary stars, by the determination of their physical and orbital parameters, allows the study of the first stages of evolution of binary systems, and the formation of Cataclysmic Variables. The M-dwarf eclipsing binaries (MEBs) give the most precise ways to measure their fundamental properties, when photometric and spectroscopic data are combined. Neverthe…
