Eclipsing Binary Stars from Space
We have begun a programme to obtain high-precision photometry of bright detached eclipsing binary (dEB) stars with the Wide field InfraRed Explorer (wire) satellite (Bruntt & Buzasi 2006). Due to the small aperture of wire only stars brighter than V = 6 can be observed. We are collecting data for about a dozen dEB targets and here we present preliminary results for three of them. We have chosen...
متن کاملEclipsing Binary Stars as Tests of Stellar Evolutionary Models and Stellar Ages
Eclipsing binary stars provide highly accurate measurements of the fundamental physical properties of stars. They therefore serve as stringent tests of the predictions of evolutionary models upon which most stellar age determinations are based. Models generally perform very well in predicting coeval ages for eclipsing binaries with main-sequence components more massive than ≈ 1.2 M⊙; relative a...
متن کاملConstraints on the binary evolution from chirp mass measurements
We estimate the observed distribution of chirp masses of compact object binaries for the gravitational wave detectors. The stellar binary evolution is modeled using the StarTrack population synthesis code. The distribution of the predicted ”observed” chirp masses vary with variation of different parameters describing stellar binary evolution. We estimate the sensitivity of the observed distribu...
متن کاملEclipsing Binary Pulsars
The first eclipsing binary pulsar, PSR B1957+20, was discovered in 1987. Since then, 13 other eclipsing low-mass binary pulsars have been found; 12 of these are in globular clusters. In this paper we list the known eclipsing binary pulsars and their properties, with special attention to the eclipsing systems in 47 Tuc. We find that there are two fundamentally different groups of eclipsing binar...
متن کاملThe evolution of the Milky Way from its earliest phases : constraints on stellar nucleosynthesis
We computed the evolution of the abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca, K, Ti, Sc, Ni, Mn, Co, Fe and Zn in the Milky Way. We made use of the most widely adopted nucleosynthesis calculations and compared the model results with observational data with the aim of imposing constraints upon stellar yields. In order to fit at best the data in the solar neighborhood, when adopting the Woosley and Weaver (1995)...
