The existence of hot spots on components of semi-detached Algol systems has been suspected for a long time, the reason being the distortions observed in many light curves outside of eclipse. However, the question whether such a distortion is caused by absorption or by additional emission and, in the latter case, from which component the emission may come from, could be answered only recently, now that we have a good idea of the trajectories which gas streams follow.
