Statistical errors and systematic biases in the calibration of the convective core overshooting with eclipsing binaries. A case study: TZ Fornacis
G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, P. G. Prada Moroni +1
We attempt to constrain the initial helium abundance, the age and the efficiency of the convective core overshooting of the binary system TZ Fornacis. Our main aim is in pointing o…
A statistical test on the reliability of the non-coevality of stars in binary systems
G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, P. G. Prada Moroni +1
We develop a statistical test on the expected difference in age estimates of two coeval stars in detached double-lined eclipsing binary systems that are only caused by observationa…
Calibrating convective-core overshooting with eclipsing binary systems. The case of low-mass main-sequence stars
G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, P. G. Prada Moroni +1
In a robust statistical way, we quantify the uncertainty that affects the calibration of the overshooting efficiency parameter that is owing to the uncertainty on the observati…
