Probing high-mass stellar evolutionary models with binary stars

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-06-22 v1

Abstract

Mass discrepancy is one of the problems that is pending a solution in (massive) binary star research field. The problem is often solved by introducing an additional near core mixing into evolutionary models, which brings theoretical masses of individual stellar components into an agreement with the dynamical ones. In the present study, we perform a detailed analysis of two massive binary systems, V380 Cyg and Sigma Sco, to provide an independent, asteroseismic measurement of the overshoot parameter, and to test state-of-the-art stellar evolution models.
