ABSTRACT
We present the results of a spectroscopic campaign on eclipsing binaries with long orbital period (P = 20–75 d) carried out with the CHIRON spectrograph. Physical and orbital solutions for seven systems were derived from the V band, and I band ASAS, WASP, and TESS photometry, while radial velocities were calculated from high-quality optical spectra using a two-dimensional cross-correlation technique. The atmospheric parameters of the stars have been determined from the separated spectra. Most of our targets are composed of evolved stars (subgiants or red giants) but two systems show components in different phases of evolution and one possible merger. For four binaries, the masses and radii of the components were obtained with precision better than $3{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$. These objects provide very valuable information on stellar evolution.
