To characterize the binary, we compute two sets of ELC models. The first set is done before any constraints from Section \ref{atm} are known. We use the full folded light curve together with all radial velocity points and employ ELC's ``fast analytic mode.'' This uses the equations in \citep{gim06} and treats the two stars as perfect spheres, which is a reasonable assumption for a well-detached binary. We use these preliminary results to guide the spectral disentangling process described in Section \ref{atm}.  The second set of ELC models uses constraints from atmosphere modeling, and breaks the light curves into ``chunks'' to search for stellar activity on the timescale of one orbital period.  IN PROGRESS  % Write more here
