Kepler Eclipsing Binaries with $\delta$ Scuti/$\gamma$ Doradus Pulsating Components 1: KIC 9851944

Abstract

KIC 9851944 is a short period ($P=2.16$ days) eclipsing binary in the {\it Kepler} field of view. By combining the analysis of {\it Kepler} photometry and phase resolved spectra from Kitt Peak National Observatory and Lowell Observatory, we determine the atmospheric and physical parameters of both stars. The two components have very different radii ($2.27R_{\odot }$, $3.19R_{\odot }$) but close masses ($1.76M_{\odot }$, $1.79M_{\odot }$) and effective temperatures ($7026$K, $6902$K), indicating different evolutionary stages. The hotter primary is still on the main sequence (MS), while the cooler and larger secondary star has evolved to post-MS, burning hydrogen in a shell. A comparison with coeval evolutionary models shows that it requires solar metallicity and a higher mass ratio to fit the radii and temperatures of both stars simultaneously. Both components show $\delta$ Scuti type pulsations which we interpret as p-modes and p and g mixed modes. After a close examination of the evolution of $\delta$ Scuti pulsational frequencies, we make a comparison of the observed frequencies with those calculated from MESA/GYRE.
