EG And is a symbiotic binary system. The cool component is an M3 III star, the hot one is a subdwarf with temperature 60 250 K and luminosity 1.45 L⊙ (Boyarchuk, 1985). The eclipsing nature of the system suggested from UV spectroscopy by Oliversen et al. (1985) was confirmed photometrically by Chochol et al. (1987). The circular spectroscopic orbit of cool component determined by Oliversen et al. (1985) supposing the orbital period 470 days leads to f(m) = 3.2×10−2 M⊙ and detached configuration.
