Coarse Estimation of Physical Parameters of Eclipsing Binaries by Means of Automative Scripting
Abstract
Description
Because of GAIA's estimated harvest of cca. 10^5 eclipsing binaries (Munari et al. 2001) automative procedures for extracting physical parameters from observations must be introduced. We present preliminary results of automative scripting applied to 5 eclipsing binaries, for which photometric and radial velocity observations were taken from literature. Although the results are encouraging, extensive testing on a wider sample has to be performed.
