Empirical tests of pre-main-sequence stellar evolution models with eclipsing binaries

Torres, Guillermo; Stassun, Keivan G.; Feiden, Gregory A.

We examine the performance of standard pre-main-sequence (PMS) stellar evolution models against the accurately measured properties of a benchmark sample of 26 PMS stars in 13 eclipsing binary (EB) systems having masses 0.04-4.0 M_⊙ and nominal ages ≈1-20 Myr. We provide a definitive compilation of all fundamental properties for the EBs, …
