The value-added catalogue of ASAS-SN eclipsing binaries: parameters of 30 000 detached systems

Detached eclipsing binaries are a fundamental tool for measuring the physical parameters of stars that are effectively evolving in isolation. Starting from more than 40 000 eclipsing binary candidates identified by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), we use PHOEBE to determine the sum of the fractional radii, the ratio of effective temperatures, the inclinations, and the eccentricities for 35 576 systems. We visually inspect all the light-curve models to verify the model fits and examine the TESS light curves, when available, to select systems with evidence for additional physics, such as spots, mass transfer, and hierarchical triples. We examine the distributions of the eclipsing binary model parameters and the orbital parameters. We identify two groups in the sum of the fractional radii and effective temperature ratio parameter space that may distinguish systems approaching the semidetached limit. Combining Gaia EDR3 with extinction estimates from three-dimensional dust maps, we examine the properties of the systems as a function of their absolute magnitude and evolutionary state. Finally, we present light curves of selected eclipsing binaries that may be of interest for follow-up studies.

Automated summary

Detached eclipsing binaries are important tools for measuring stellar physical parameters. This study analyzes 35,576 systems identified from more than 40,000 binary candidates by ASAS-SN, examines their physical characteristics and distribution patterns through light curve models and TESS light curves, and explores the relationship between system properties, absolute magnitudes, and evolutionary states using Gaia EDR3 and extinction estimates from three-dimensional dust maps.
