The orbits and physical parameters of three close, double-lined G0 eclipsing binaries have been derived combining photometry
from the Hipparcos/Tycho mission with 8480–8740 Å ground-based spectroscopy.
The setup is mimicking the photometric and spectroscopic observations that
should be obtained by GAIA.
The binaries considered here are all of G0 spectral type, but each with its
own complications: V781 Tau is an overcontact system with components of
unequal temperature, UV Leo shows occasional surface spots and GK Dra
contains a δ Scuti variable. Such peculiarities will be common among
binaries to be discovered by GAIA. We find that the values of
masses, radii and temperatures for such stars can be
derived with a 1–2% accuracy using the adopted GAIA-like observing mode.
Key words: surveys: GAIA / stars: fundamental parameters / binaries: eclipsing / binaries: spectroscopic
