We present parameters used in the investiga- tion of the light curves of eclipsing binaries together with other data needed for the interpretation of their stellar and dynamical evolution. Parameters include limb-darkening coecients and gravity darkening exponents, while data includes the apsidal motion constants, the moment of in- ertia, and the potential energy. The adopted stellar mod- els are those computed by Claret (1995) for a represen- tative chemical composition of X =0 :70 and Z =0 :02. In addition to the parameters needed for the study of the dynamical behavior and tidal evolution of binary systems, we supply the linear limb-darkening coecients computed in 12 dierent photometric bands, as well as the gravity darkening exponent for each point along the evolutionary track. We have developed a method, based on the triangles strategy by Kippenhahn et al. (1967) to compute the gravity-darkening exponent using interior models. For the rst time, the gravity-darkening exponents are presented as a function of mass and age. The old values of 1 0:32 and 1.0 - for convective and radiative envelopes are thus superseded by the present calculations and a smooth tran- sition is achieved between both energy transport mecha- nisms. The tables presented here assist modeling of the light curves of close binaries using limb-darkening and gravity darkening coecients which are consistent with the ob- served masses, radii and eective temperatures. In order to facilitate the use of the grid of models pre- sented here in a variety of dierent research elds other than binary stars, synthetic colors (U B, B V , u b, b y )a nd M v are also given.
