This article presents and discusses a critical compilation of accurate, fundamental
determinations of stellar masses and radii. We have identified 95 detached binary systems …

Binary stars are as common as single stars. Binary stars are of immense importance to
astrophysicists because that they allow us to determine the masses of the stars independent …

I introduce batman, a Python package for modeling exoplanet transit and eclipse light
curves. The batman package supports calculation of light curves for any radially symmetric …

" exoplanet" is a toolkit for probabilistic modeling of astronomical time series data, with a
focus on observations of exoplanets, using PyMC3 (Salvatier et al., 2016). PyMC3 is a …

We present a new study of late-type eclipsing binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
(SMC) undertaken with the aim of improving the distance determination to this important …

PHOEBE 2 is a Python package for modeling the observables of eclipsing star systems, but
until now it has focused entirely on the forward model—that is, generating a synthetic model …

I calculate the physical properties of 32 transiting extrasolar planet and brown-dwarf systems
from existing photometric observations and measured spectroscopic parameters. The …

Context. The majority of massive stars are part of binary systems. In about a quarter of these,
the companions are so close that mass transfer occurs while they undergo core hydrogen …

Context. Eclipsing, spectroscopic double-lined binary star systems are excellent laboratories
for calibrating theories of stellar interior structure and evolution. Their precise and accurate …

I present a homogeneous analysis of the transit light curves of 14 well-observed transiting
extrasolar planets. The light curves are modelled using jktebop, random errors are …
