Mixing-Length Estimates From Binary Systems. A Theoretical Investigation on the Estimation Errors

Mixing-Length Estimates From Binary Systems. A Theoretical Investigation on the Estimation Errors

We performed a theoretical investigation on the biases and random uncertainties affecting the recovery of the mixing-length parameter αml from an ideal eclipsing double-lined binary system, with well constrained masses and radii. We focused on a test case composed by a primary of mass M = 0.95 M⊙ an...
