Detached Eclipsing Binaries for Parallax Measurement
Abstract
Description
A list of 50 bright Detached Eclipsing Binaries proposed for precise parallax measurements for the FAME is presented. The eclipsing binaries, with precise distances and with photometric and double-line spectroscopic orbits determined, are essential for a full calibration of relations that could be used for very precise distance determination of globular clusters, LMC, SMC, and perhaps also M31 and M33.
