Scientific paper
Accurate masses and radii have been determined from new spectroscopic and photometric observations and from previously published photometric observations and times of minima of this pair of F5 V stars. Previous reports of δ Scuti variations by the components appear to be erroneous. IT Cas has an eccentric orbit, but existing observations cover too small a fraction of the apsidal motion variations to fit an accurate apsidal period, which is estimated to be 2200 years based on theoretical models. These models give an age near 2 billion years for the binary star. There is a small amount of color excess due to interstellar reddening.
