Context. Scheduling observing time for the CHEOPS mission leaves short gaps in which the telescope goes unused. If data collected during these gaps provided quality results, they could be utilised to make observing time more efficient. Aims. The ai...

Fundamental parameters of very low mass stars in eclipsing binary star systems observed with the CHEOPS satellite (2023)
Thesis
Swayne, M. I. (2023). Fundamental parameters of very low mass stars in eclipsing binary star systems observed with the CHEOPS satellite. (Thesis). Keele University

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown unexpectedly large stellar radii when compared to the predictions from theoretical stellar structure models. This “radius inflation” problem may have consequences not just for stellar science but a...

Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars (2022)
Thesis
Miller, N. J. (2022). Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars. (Thesis). Keele University

Modern high-precision spectroscopy and photometry has made it possible to directly measure masses and radii for stars in detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) to 0.5% or better. These stars, due to their wide orbits, are suitable for testing models of s... Read More about Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars.

Fundamental properties of M-dwarfs in eclipsing binary star systems (2019)
Thesis
Gill, S. (2019). Fundamental properties of M-dwarfs in eclipsing binary star systems. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/413089

The absolute parameters of M-dwarfs in eclipsing binary systems provide important tests for evolutionary models. Those that have been measured reveal significant discrepancies with evolutionary models. There are two problems with M-dwarfs: 1. M-dwarf...

Fundamental parameters of subgiant stars in detached eclipsing binary systems (2019)
Thesis
Evans, J. A. (2019). Fundamental parameters of subgiant stars in detached eclipsing binary systems. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/413063

Detailed studies of stars in long-period, detached eclipsing binary systems remain one of the best ways to test stellar evolutionary models. With so many detections of planets outside of the solar system, research has turned to the characterisation o...
