The DEBCat detached eclipsing binary catalogue

Abstract

Detached eclipsing binary star systems are our primary source of measured physical properties of normal stars. I introduce DEBCat: a catalogue of detached eclipsing binaries with mass and radius measurements to the 2% precision necessary to put useful constraints on theoretical models of stellar evolution. The catalogue was begun in 2006, as an update of the compilation by Andersen (1991). It now contains over 170 systems, and new results are added on appearance in the refereed literature. DEBCat is available at: http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/jkt/debcat/

Poster paper presented at Living Together: Planets, Host Stars and Binaries (Litomysl, Czech Republic, September 2014). 2 pages, 1 figure, to be published in ASP Conf. Ser. DEBCat is available at: http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/jkt/debcat/
