Spectroscopic observations from the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared obtained at the recent eclipse are discussed. The rotation curve for the disk around the secondary suggests that secondary is a low mass star (or binary). This result with the known mass function suggests that the primary may be a low mass (m1 ≤ the Chandraskehar limit, 1.4 M⊙) star leaving the AGB and evolving to the white dwarf region.
