Abstract

Eclipsing binaries have long served as benchmark systems to measure fundamental properties of stars. In recent decades, asteroseismology—the study of stellar pulsations—has emerged as a powerful new tool to study the structure and evolution of stars across the H–R diagram. Pulsating stars in eclipsing binary systems are particularly valuable since fundamental properties such as radii and masses can then be determined using two independent techniques. Furthermore, independently measured properties from binary orbits can be used to improve asteroseismic modelling for pulsating stars in which mode identifications are not straightforward. This chapter provides a review of asteroseismic detections in eclipsing binary stars, with a focus on space-based missions such as CoRoT and Kepler and empirical tests of asteroseismic scaling relations for stochastic (‘solar-like’) oscillations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An important exception are rapidly oscillating Ap stars, a class of coherent pulsators that show regularly-spaced high-order p modes (Kurtz 1982).
