Tracking massive pairs
Abstract
The analysis of eclipsing binaries with massive components enables to test stellar evolution models and track selected aspects of the structure of early-type stars. Stellar pairs with B-type components may serve to find tighter constraints on the mechanisms of convective core overshooting or masses of β Cephei-type stars. We present the results of an analysis of several eclipsing binaries — N Sco, LS CMa, and δ Vel — observed by BRITE-Constellation satellites and followed by a wide range of ground-based telescopes.
