| The field of eclipsing binaries has long been celebrated for its role in determining fundamental properties of stars: their masses, radii, temperatures and luminosities. NASA's Kepler mission revolutionized the field by providing us with a near-complete census of eclipsing binaries down to ~16th magnitude in its ~105 square degree field of view over its 4-year primary mission. NASA's Kepler successor TESS has been operating for over 3 years and it detected over 4500 eclipsing binaries across the sky. In this talk we will discuss the role of TESS on eclipsing binary field and showcase some preliminary results from the TESS eclipsing binary catalog, available at http://tessEBs.villanova.edu. |
