Spots parameters for LCs of the EB star KIC 6048106

Including a starspot on either of the components, light-curve synthesis indicates that this system is a semi-detached Algol with a mass ratio of 0.211, an orbital inclination of 73.9{deg}, and a large temperature difference of 2534K. To examine in detail both the spot variations and pulsations, we separately analyzed the Kepler time-series data at the interval of an orbital period in an iterative way.

The results reveal that the variable asymmetries of the light maxima can be interpreted as the changes with time of a magnetic cool spot on the secondary component. Multiple frequency analyses were performed in the outside-eclipse light residuals after removal of the binarity effects from the observed Kepler data. We detected 30 frequencies with signal to noise amplitude ratios larger than 4.0, of which six (f_2_-f_6_ and f_10_) can be identified as high-order (17<=n<=25) low-degree (l=2) gravity-mode pulsations that were stable during the observing run of 200 days.
