Scientific paper

Masses of numerous Algol binaries (and a few Wolf-Rayet systems) are compared with new theoretical predictions in which the effect of overshooting in stellar interiors is considered. The comparison appears to confirm that usual mass-transfer computations cannot satisfactorily account for the observed masses of the post-mass exchange remnants. It is suggested that the incongruities which hinder a quantitative evaluation of the amount of mass loss from close binaries may be related to the possible occurrence of complicated interactive processes, including phases of contact configurations, which might drastically modify the outcome of mass-transfer processes.
