Context. The fact that eclipsing binaries belong to a stellar group is
useful, because the former can be used to estimate distance and additional
properties of the latter, and vice versa. Aims. Our goal is to analyse new
spectroscopic observations of BD+36∘3317 along with the photometric
observations from the literature and, for the first time, to derive all basic
physical properties of this binary. We aim to find out whether the binary is
indeed a member of the δ Lyr open cluster. Methods. The spectra were
reduced using the IRAF program and the radial velocities were measured with the
program SPEFO. The line spectra of both components were disentangled with the
program KOREL and compared to a grid of synthetic spectra. The final combined
radial-velocity and photometric solution was obtained with the program PHOEBE.
Results. We obtained the following physical elements of BD+36∘3317: M1=2.24±0.07M⊙, M2=1.52±0.03M⊙, R1=1.76±0.01R⊙, R2=1.46±0.01R⊙, logL1=1.52±0.08L⊙,
logL2=0.81±0.07L⊙. We derived the effective temperatures
Teff,1=10450±420 K, Teff,2=7623±328 K. Both components
are located close to ZAMS in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram and their
masses and radii are consistent with the predictions of stellar evolutionary
models. Our results imply the average distance to the system d = 330±29 pc.
We re-investigated the membership of BD+36∘3317 in the δ Lyr
cluster and confirmed it. The distance to BD+36∘3317, given above,
therefore represents an accurate estimate of the true distance for δ Lyr
cluster. Conclusions. The reality of the δ Lyr cluster and the cluster
membership of BD+36∘3317 have been reinforced.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in A&
