However, spectroscopic characterisation depends on single-target radial velocity observations and only a few tens of well-studied low-mass systems have been diagnosed in this way. We characterise eclipsing detached systems from the {\\it Kepler} field with low mass components by adopting a purely-photometric method. Based on an extensive multi-colour dataset, we derive effective temperatures and photometric masses of individual components using clustering techniques. We also estimate the stellar radii from additional modelling of the available {\\it Kepler} light curves. Our measurements confirm the presence of an inflation trend in the mass-radius diagram against theoretical stellar models in the low-mass regime.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-06-17T11:54:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "detached eclipsing binaries", "photometric masses", "kepler field", "short-period systems", "low mass components" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
