Abstract
Interest in close binary stars continues to grow apace. Substantial fractions of the observing time on the International Ultraviolet Explorer and the various X-ray satellites have been devoted to extending our knowledge of a variety of interacting binaries. These, together with applications of novel ground-based techniques and the steady improvement of traditional methods, and developments in methods of analysis, have led to major advances in understanding of the properties and evolution of close binary stars.
