Context. Pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries (EBs) provide an excellent opportunity to obtain precise, model-independent stellar parameters for studying these oscillations in detail. One of the most common classes of pulsators found in such EBs exhibits δ Scuti-type oscillations. Characterising these pulsators using the precise stellar parameters obtained using EB modelling can help us better understand such stars, and provide strong anchors for asteroseismic studies.
Aims. We performed a comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of candidate pulsators in detached EBs, to add to the sample of such systems with accurately determined absolute parameters.
Methods. We performed radial velocity and light curve modelling to estimate the absolute stellar parameters, and detailed spectroscopic modelling to obtain the global metallicity and temperatures. Frequency power spectra were obtained using residuals from binary modelling. Finally, we used isochrones to determine the age of the stars, and compared the estimated physical parameters to the theoretically obtained values.
Results. We present a detailed analysis of four candidate δ Scuti-type pulsators in EBs, and update the light curve analysis of the previously studied system TIC 308953703. The masses and radii of components are constrained to a high accuracy, which helps us constrain the age of the systems. We perform a Fourier analysis of the observed oscillations, and try to explain their origin. For TIC 81702112, we report tidal effects causing amplitude variation in the oscillation frequencies over the orbital phase.
