Compact binaries are interacting binary star systems in which a compact stellar remnant like a black hole or a neutron star accretes material from a main-sequence or slightly evolved star. Accurate masses of the compact object in these systems are important in understanding accretion disk dynamics, binary evolution, winds and jets, and studying physics in the strong gravity regime. Using a combination of infrared spectroscopy and imaging, I have determined accurate compact object masses in a few of these systems. Additionally, I have applied infrared spectroscopy to place important estimates on other system parameters such as the spectral type, radial and rotational velocity of the companion in a compact binary system.
