Test of Convective Core Overshooting Using Evolved Eclipsing Binaries.

Double-lined eclipsing binaries are known to be the source of accurate stellar dimensions. Masses of radii of the component stars can be obtained with uncertainties around 1-2%, thus leading to the much-needed test of current models for stellar structure and evolution. In the present communication w...
