Scientific paper

Photometry in different photometric systems is presented for 14 Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud and 4 Wolf-Rayet stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. All but two stars are spectroscopic binaries. Nine of the 16 binaries show phase-dependent variations due to wind transparency effects or, in one case, eclipses of the stars. In the former case, the shape of the light curve of 5 stars is used to derive the orbital inclination and the WR star mass loss rate.
