Using Computational Models to Uncover the Parameters of Three Kepler Binaries: KIC 5957123, KIC 8314879, and KIC 10727668*

Abstract Theories of stellar convective core overshoot can be examined through analysis pulsating stars. Better accuracy achieved by obtaining external constraints such as those provided observing stars in eclipsing binary systems, but this requires that the parameters identified so photometric variations component may isolated from periodicity. This study aims to uncover physical three binaries observed Kepler spacecraft. We also seek evaluate feasibility accurately constraining using only readily available time-series photometry and distance estimates. Binary models were constructed Physics Eclipsing Binaries software package. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods used sample parameter space these provide estimates posterior distributions for systems. An initial run binned light-curve data was performed identify general trends initializing a subsequent incorporating full set. present theoretical all binaries, along with our MCMC analyses. Models KIC 8314879 10727668 produced good match data, while model 5957123 failed generate an appropriate synthetic light curve. For two successful models, we interpret discuss confidence uncertainties. procedure various contexts propose several modifications improve success future studies.
