Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Thirty Galactic Metal-Poor Stars in Detached Eclipsing Binaries

Detached eclipsing binaries have long served as fundamental benchmarks for making direct comparisons with stellar models. By combining the light curve and radial velocity orbit of a detached eclipsing binary, precise masses and radii can be measured for both components. However, catalogs of eclipsing binaries are domin...
