Low-mass and sub-stellar eclipsing binaries in stellar clusters
We highlight the importance of eclipsing double-line binaries in our
understanding on star formation and evolution. We review the recent discoveries
of low-mass and sub-stellar eclipsing binaries belonging to star-forming
regions, open clusters, and globular clusters identified by ground-based
surveys and space missions with high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up. These
discoveries provide benchmark systems with known distances, metallicities, and
ages to calibrate masses and radii predicted by state-of-the-art evolutionary
models to a few percent. We report their density and discuss current
limitations on the accuracy of the physical parameters. We discuss future
opportunities and highlight future guidelines to fill gaps in age and
metallicity to improve further our knowledge of low-mass stars and brown
dwarfs.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figures, no table. Review pape
