The light curve (LC) of the single-line spectroscopic binary system II Peg (K2-3, IV-III) generally shows an asymmetrical and highly variable shape (Fig.l, left). Therefore, single circular spot models can be successfully applied only to symmetric LCs, as the 1977 one by Vogt (1981). When asymmetrical or almost flat LCs develop, as appears to be the rule for II Peg, at leasts two-spot modeling is required (Bopp and Noah 1980, Dorren and Guinan 1982).

From classical single-spot models (Torres and Ferraz Mello 1973, Friedman and Gurtler 1975, Bopp and Evans 1973) we have developed a computer code including two separate circular spots of different size which are allowed to assume any relative location on the stellar surface. The model is symmetric with respect to the equator. The spots are assumed to radiate as back bodies with temperature ranging from 100 to 2000 degree lower than the temperature of the unspotted photosphere (4500°K).
