Descripción
We describe a newly discovered detached M dwarf eclipsing binary system.
This system was first observed by the TrES network during a long-term
photometry campaign of 54 nights. Analysis of the folded light curve
indicates two very similar components orbiting each other with a period
of 1.12079 +/- 0.00001 days. Spectroscopic observations with the
Hobby-Eberly Telescope show the system to consist of two M3e dwarfs in a
near-circular orbit. Double-line radial velocity amplitudes, combined
with the orbital inclination derived from light-curve fitting, yield
Mtotal = 0.983 +/- 0.007 Msolar, with component
masses of M1=0.493+/-0.003 Msolar and
M2=0.489+/-0.003 Msolar. The light-curve fit
yields component radii of R1=0.453+/-0.060 Rsolar
and R2=0.452+/-0.050 Rsolar. Although a precise
parallax is lacking, broadband VJHK colors and spectral typing suggest
component absolute magnitudes of MV(1)=11.18+/-0.30 and
MV(2)=11.28+/-0.30.
