LMC eclipsing binaries in the MACHO database

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Eclipsing binaries offer a unique opportunity to determine fundamental physical parameters of stars by using the constraints on the geometry of the systems.

Description

Here we present a reanalysis of publicly available two-color observations of about 6800 stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud obtained by the MACHO Project between 1992 and 2000 and classified as eclipsing variables. Of these, fewer than half are genuine eclipsing binaries.

We determined new periods and classified the stars, 3031 in total, using the Fourier parameters of the phased light curves.
