The orbital light curves of SXTs are discussed. In principle, the orbital inclination can be determined from the ellipsoidal variations, allowing a complete solution for the component masses. Complications in this analysis are described, and the evidence for superhumps in the light curves is reviewed. Constraints on the compact-object masses derived from superhumps are described.
