Abstract
- Context.Stellar evolution in close binary systems is strongly influenced by mass transfer from one star to the other when one component fills its zero-velocity surface or Roche Lobe. SS Lepis a fairly nearby close binary showing the Algolparadox and a shell spectrum, both indicative of (past) mass transfer.
