Light curves of oscillating stars provide valuable insights into the stellar interiors. When oscillations from a pair of stars are captured within a single photometric aperture, they can be considered as potential asteroseismic binaries…
Systems in which two oscillating stars are observed in the same light curve, so-called asteroseismic binaries (ABs), arise from either chance alignments or gravitationally bound stars. In the latter case, ABs offer a novel way to find…
