Scientific paper

Radial velocity observations obtained by a numerical cross-correlation technique are presented for the two W Ursae Majoris type contact binaries W UMa and AW UMa. Spectroscopic mass ratios are determined, for the first time in the case of AW UMa, and compared with the photometric values. The results obtained show a significant discrepancy in the case of W UMa but good agreement for AW UMa, and it is suggested that a possible explanation is in terms of line distortion.
