A new test case for normal giant evolution: TZ Fornacis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
For normal giants, the only binary system known until recently with completely determined masses was Capella (αAur, GO III+G5III). Being non-eclipsing, its masses are, however, so uncertain (20% and 8%, respectively) that the properties of the corresponding range of theoretical models are considerably more uncertain than the observationally determined temperatures and luminosities. The discovery of the eclipsing nature of TZ For = HD 20301 (Olsen, 1977) thus provides a unique opportunity to obtain absolute parameters of much higher precision.
