Pulsations in close binaries: challenges and opportunities

Pulsations in close binaries: challenges and opportunities

CoRoT and Kepler provided a precious by-product: a number of eclipsing binaries containing variable stars and, among these, non-radial pulsators. This providential occurrence allows combining independent information from two different phenomena whose synergy yields scientific results well beyond tho...
