The brave new world of eclipsing binary modeling

Abstract

This contribution highlights some of the open questions identified by the binary star community in attendance, based on a 45-min discussion in lieu of an ex-cathedra talk. As photometric and spectroscopic data accuracy reach unprecedented levels, it is crucial to identify and address these open questions. In what follows are concise minutes from the discussion with minimal commentary, in an effort to stimulate further discussion and promote focused studies dedicating to answering these open questions.
