Abstract

Eclipsing binary systems with a Delta (${\delta}$) Scuti component serve a vital role in deriving precise fundamental stellar parameters and testing stellar evolution models. This study mainly focuses on the Kepler target KIC 8569819, a detached eclipsing binary system that consists of a ${\delta}$ Scuti pulsating component. The quarter 9 photometric data observed by the Kepler mission were used for the analysis. The binary nature of the KIC 8569819 system was modeled using the Wilson-Devinney (WD) code and extracted new set of stellar parameters. This comprehensive study mainly focuses on the application of the Differential Correction (DC2015) process after the initial fitting done by the Light Curve modeling (LC2015) process for the disentanglement of the binary nature from the observed light curve. Subsequently, an improved set of stellar parameters for both primary and secondary components of the KIC 8569819 system was determined. The DC2015 modeling process yielded an orbital inclination of $i=89.88\pm0.03$ degrees, primary component luminosity $L=10.911\pm0.005$ $L_{\odot}$, the effective temperature of the primary component of $T_{eff,1}=7155\pm9$ K and the effective temperature of the secondary component of $T_{eff,2}=5956\pm7$ K. Additionally, the values for the radius 1.790 $R_{\odot}$ and 0.986 $R_{\odot}$, bolometric magnitude $2.56$ mag and $4.65$ mag, and surface gravity $4.17$ $cm s^{-2}$ and $4.46$ $cm s^{-2}$, were found as refined stellar parameters for both primary and secondary components of the KIC 8569819 binary system respectively. These results not only deliver an updated and highly accurate stellar model for KIC 8569819 but also provide reliable input for the future analysis of mode identification of pulsation frequencies in the field of Asteroseismology.
