ABSTRACT: The eclipsing binary
system which is catalogued in MACHO as 47.2135.29 is analyzed in detail for
orbital elements and absolute parameters based on the MACHO observations and
the latest values for the distance modulus of LMC. The period of the system is
found more accurately, by minimizing the dispersion in the folded light curves.
The binary is found to be a young semi-detached binary and is potentially a
beta Lyrae system.
