Tidally induced pulsations in Kepler eclipsing binary KIC 3230227.

Abstract (from CDS):

KIC 3230227 is a short period (P ≃ 7.0 days) eclipsing binary with a very eccentric orbit (e = 0.6). From combined analysis of radial velocities and Kepler light curves, this system is found to be composed of two A-type stars, with masses of M1 = 1.84 ± 0.18 M☉, M2 = 1.73 ± 0.17 M☉ and radii of R1 = 2.01 ± 0.09 R☉, R2 = 1.68 ± 0.08 R☉ for the primary and secondary, respectively. In addition to an eclipse, the binary light curve shows a brightening and dimming near periastron, making this a somewhat rare eclipsing heartbeat star system. After removing the binary light curve model, more than 10 pulsational frequencies are present in the Fourier spectrum of the residuals, and most of them are integer multiples of the orbital frequency. These pulsations are tidally driven, and both the amplitudes and phases are in agreement with predictions from linear tidal theory for l = 2, m = -2 prograde modes.
