Abstract (from CDS):

Radial velocity measurements and sine-curve fits to the orbital velocity variations are presented for the fifth set of 10 close binary systems: V376 And, EL Aqr, EF Boo, DN Cam, FN Cam, V776 Cas, SX Crv, V351 Peg, EQ Tau, and KZ Vir. All systems are double-lined, spectroscopic contact binaries (KZ Vir may be a low-inclination, close, noncontact binary), with seven (all except EL Aqr, SX Crv, and EQ Tau) being the recent photometric discoveries of the Hipparcos project. The most interesting object is SX Crv, a contact system with an unprecedented low mass ratio, q=0.066±0.003, whose existence challenges the current theory of tidal stability of contact systems. Several of the studied systems are prime candidates for combined light and radial velocity synthesis solutions.
