Scientific paper

Orbital elements have been determined from measurements of forty-six high-dispersion spectrograms obtained between 1970 and 1980 of the double-lined eclipsing binary AL Scl, and the published radial-velocity data of Archer and Feast (1958) have been rediscussed. The orbit is confirmed to be non-circular (e = 0.074), and the components are shown to be rotating non-synchronously. The possibility of a third body is discussed but not firmly established. Approximately 2800 uvby observations, obtained between 1978 and 1981, form the basis of a photometric solution using the synthesis code LIGHT (Hill, 1979). The absolute dimensions derived for the B6 V primary component are in good agreement with the compilation of empirical data for early-type binaries given by Popper (1980), but the mass (1.71 M_sun;) derived for the B9 V secondary is lower than expected. A comparison of the absolute parameters with evolutionary tracks (Hejlesen, 1980) indicates the age of the system to be 1.6×108yr.
