Characterising EBLMs from SuperWASP-North
Abstract
Precise measurements of mass and radius for low mass stars (< 0.4 M⊙) are not common as their intrinsic faintness makes accurate measurements difficult. Low mass eclipsing binaries (EBLMs) containing a M dwarf or brown dwarf eclipsing a F/G/K star, can give us precise system properties independent of stellar models, allowing us to test and improve these models. We present EBLMs identified in Super-WASP North data. We characterise these stellar systems using Super-WASP photometry and follow up photometry and spectroscopy.
