Lessons from the High-resolution Spectroscopy of AW UMa and ϵ CrA: Is the Lucy Model Valid? by Slavek M. Rucinski

“…The tendency for systematically smaller values of q _ph may result from the overfilling of the primary lobe and underfilling of the secondary lobe relative to the Roche model geometry, as predicted by the K. Stȩpień model. Despite the observed moderate inter-systemic velocities, the photometric Lucy model may remain useful in providing approximate, though biased, results for the mass ratio. …”
