Abstract (from CDS):

We present observations of two new single-lined eclipsing binaries, both consisting of an Am star and an M-dwarf, discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets transit photometry survey. Using WASP photometry and spectroscopic measurements we find that HD186753B has an orbital period of P=1.9194 days, a mass of M=0.24±0.02M☉ and radius of R=0.31+0.06–0.06R☉; and that TYC7096-222-1B has an orbital period of P=8.9582 days, a mass of between 0.29 and 0.54M☉ depending on eccentricity and radius of R=0.263+0.02–0.07R☉. We find that the Am stars have relatively low rotational velocities that closely match the orbital velocities of the M-dwarfs, suggesting that they have been ``spun-down'' by the M-dwarfs.
