Multiple star systems observed with CoRoT and Kepler (invited review)
John Southworth (Keele University, UK)
TL;DR
This review discusses how CoRoT and Kepler space telescopes have advanced the study of multiple star systems through high-precision photometry, highlighting discoveries in eclipsing binaries, pulsators, and complex systems, with future prospects from upcoming missions.
Contribution
It synthesizes existing research on multiple star systems observed by CoRoT and Kepler, emphasizing key findings and future potential in the field.
Findings
Identification of diverse variability in multiple systems
Detailed analysis of eclipsing binaries with giant stars
Potential for new discoveries with upcoming missions
Abstract
The CoRoT and Kepler satellites were the first space platforms designed to perform high-precision photometry for a large number of stars. Multiple systems display a wide variety of photometric variability, making them natural benefactors of these missions. I review the work arising from CoRoT and Kepler observations of multiple systems, with particular emphasis on eclipsing binaries containing giant stars, pulsators, triple eclipses and/or low-mass stars. Many more results remain untapped in the data archives of these missions, and the future holds the promise of K2, TESS and PLATO.
