Eclipsing binaries in LMC

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a catalogue of 1768 eclipsing binary stars (EBs) detected in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by the second generation of the EROS survey (hereinafter EROS-2); 493 of them are new discoveries located in outer regions (out of the central bar) of the LMC.

Description

These sources were originally included in a list of candidate classical Cepheids (CCs) extracted from the EROS-2 catalogue on the basis of the period (0.89<P_EROS_<15.85d) versus luminosity [13.39<<B_EROS_><17.82mag] diagram.

After visual inspection of the light curves we reclassified them as eclipsing binaries. They have blue colours (B_EROS_-R_EROS_<0.2mag) hence we classed them as hot eclipsing binaries (HEBs) containing hot massive components: main sequence (MS) stars or blue giants. We present Ks-band light curves for 999 binaries from our sample that have a counterpart in the VISTA near-infrared ESO public survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC).

We provide spectral classifications of 13 HEBs with existing spectroscopy. We divided our sample into contact-like binaries and detached/semi-detached systems based on both visual inspection and the parameters of the Fourier decomposition of the light curves and analysed the period-luminosity (PL) relations of the contact-like systems using the R_EROS_ and Ks magnitudes at maximum light. The contact-like binaries in our sample do not follow PL relations.

We analysed the sample of contact binaries from the OGLE III catalogue and confirmed that PL_I_ and PL_K_ sequences are defined only by eclipsing binaries containing a red giant component.
