1 Rolf Kudritzki SS Detached eclipsing binaries 50% of all stars live in binary systems and some of them are eclipsing 1
2 Rolf Kudritzki SS 2015 classification of binary systems by geometry of equipotential surfaces center of gravity (x, y, z) = G M 1 r 1 G M 2 r 2 1 2!2 s 2 contribution by centrifugal force potential in coordinate system rotating with orbital period Roche potential 2
3 Rolf Kudritzki SS 2015 equipotential surfaces close to centers of M 1, M 2 : spherical further out deviation from spherical symmetry Roche-surface: surfaces touch each other at inner Lagrange point L 1, where forces are zero inside Roche-surface: matter bound to either 1 or 2 3
4 Rolf Kudritzki SS 2015 surfaces light curves detached semi-detached contact 4
5 Rolf Kudritzki SS 2015 detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs): radii smaller than Roche-surfaces stars are nicely round, no stellar surface effects through deformation (changes of T eff, log g over surface) light curves are regular with well defined eclipses accurate constraints on radii and masses from light curve and radial velocity curve spectral analysis with standard model atmospheres reliable 5
