Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars - IX. Characterisation of 5 solar-type eclipsing binaries with M-dwarf companions

Large-scale spectroscopic surveys will need suitable benchmark stars that can be used to verify the performance of automatic pipelines. A promising type of object for this purpose is the detached eclipsing binary (DEB) containing an FG-star and a low temperature companion. For flux ratios ≲ 1 per cent, the spectra ob...

The EBLM project - XX. Absolute dynamical masses of five low-mass eclipsing binaries, and an evaluation of mass estimation methods

Eclipsing binaries consisting of a solar-type primary and an M dwarf secondary are key laboratories to study objects at the bottom of the main sequence. Fundamental parameters of such stars have a direct impact upon exoplanetary studies, as searches for temperate Earth-sized planets focus on M dwarf hosts. Eclipsing bi...

The EBLM Project - XIX. The absence of radius inflation in a homogeneous analysis of 66 Northern low-mass eclipsing binaries

Precise and accurate measurements of host stars are crucial in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, and M-dwarfs are favourable targets in this quest. Low-mass eclipsing binaries offer unique opportunities to empirically determine stellar masses and radii for low-mass stars where stellar models may be systematically b...
