The K2 eclipsing binary candidates EPIC 211982753 (hereinafter called EPIC2753) and EPIC 211915147 (hereinafter called EPIC5147) are characterized with the help of photometric and high-resolution spectroscopic data. The light curve analysis uses the R c -band photometric data from the 1.3-m Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT, India), ASAS-3 and K2 observations. High-resolution échelle spectra are collected using the HERMES spectrograph at the 1.2-m MERCATOR telescope (La Palma, Spain). The synthetic light and radial velocity curves are generated with the help of the modeling package PHOEBE 1.0. The orbital period analysis based on the ∼3.2 years of K2 observations does not show any change in the orbital period of both targets. The component masses M 1,2 are estimated as 1.69(0.02) and 1.59(0.02) M for EPIC2753, and 1.48(0.01) and 1.27(0.01) M for EPIC5147. Both systems are high mass-ratio eclipsing binaries with q>0.85. The component radii R 1,2 are found to be 1.66(0.02) and 1.53(0.02) R for EPIC2753, and 1.80(0.05) and 1.42(0.05) R for EPIC5147. The distances of EPIC2753 and EPIC5147 are determined as 238(4) and 199(5) pc, respectively. MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks are used to understand the evolutionary status of both systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
