Tidal asteroseismology: Kepler's KOI-54
We develop a general framework for interpreting and analysing high-precision light curves from eccentric stellar binaries. Although our methods are general, we focus on the recently discovered Kepler system KOI-54, a face-on binary of two A stars with e= 0.83 and an orbital period of 42 days. KOI-54...
