Upward Revision of the Individual Masses in Α Cen: Implications for the Evolutionary State of the System

Abstract

The recent upward revisions of the individual masses of the components of the binary system α Centauri (Pourbaix D., this meeting) led us to perform new calibrations of the system. The possibility of the onset a convective core in α Cen A is discussed together with its implications on the p-mode oscillation frequencies
