Characterising young eclipsing binaries and their environments in NGC 2264

<p>Stellar evolution models underpin much of astrophysics, yet they are severely under-constrained on the pre-main sequence. The masses, radii, temperatures and luminosities of detached double-lined eclipsing binaries (EBs) can be determined in a model-independent manner from the light and rad...
