Scientific paper

New high-quality light curves of the late-type binary system BH Vir have been obtained during a 6 year photometric uvby and H beta monitoring program of low mass eclipsing binaries (\cite[Clement et al. 1997]{ref7}), hereafter Papers I and II. This paper presents detailed analysis of this binary based on the four light curves obtained within our program. The activity wave superimposed on the eclipse-modulated light curves has been adjusted and removed by using a new iterative application of the standard EBOP code together with truncated Fourier Series fittings. Combining the recent radial velocity curves (\cite[Popper 1995]{ref23}) with the geometrical elements deduced from the "clean" photometric light curves, the absolute parameters of the system are calculated. BH Vir appears as a binary composed by two main sequence G0 and G2 stars with solar chemical composition lying on the same isochrone (log(tau)=9.8 +/- 0.2 years). The accuracy obtained on the absolute parameters determination allows us to include BH Vir on the select group of late-type stars to be used on the estimation of the Mass-Luminosity-Relationship.
