Photometry of V700 Cyg and AW Vir

Since no spectroscopic mass-ratio is available, the q-search method was applied to find the preliminary range of the mass-ratio in order to search for the final solution. First, an unspotted solution was carried out by using the unperturbed parts of the light curves and applying the DC program of the WD code.

The final spotted solution was made by adopting spot models for the two systems. In the case of V 700 Cyg, two cool spots were placed on the primary (more massive, larger and cooler) component to explain the O'Connell effect (MaxII fainter than MaxI) and a small deficit of light just before MaxI. In the case of AW Vir, one cool spot was placed on the primary component to explain the relatively large O'Connell effect.
