Description
We derive masses and radii for both components in the single-lined eclipsing binary HAT-TR-205-013, which consists of an F7 V primary and a late M dwarf secondary. The system's period is short, P=2.230736+/-0.000010 days, with an orbit indistinguishable from circular, e=0.012+/-0.021. We demonstrate generally that the surface gravity of the secondary star in a single-lined binary undergoing total eclipses can be derived from characteristics of the light curve and spectroscopic orbit.
