We created a grid of stellar evolutionary models using the stellar evolutionary code \\textsc{mesa} and performed an isochrone-cloud (isocloud) based evolutionary modelling of the system. We then generated a grid of pulsational models using the stellar pulsation code \\textsc{gyre} based on the age constraints from the evolutionary modelling. Finally, we performed asteroseismic modelling of the observed $\\ell=1$ and $\\ell=2$ period-spacing patterns, utilising different combinations of observational constraints, merit functions, and asteroseismic observables to obtain strong constraints on the interior properties of the primary star. Through a combination of asteroseismic modelling and dynamical constraints, we found that the system comprises two main-sequence components at an age of $1.2\\pm0.1$ Gyr. We also observed that asteroseismic modelling provided stronger constraints on the interior properties than evolutionary modelling. Overall, we found high levels of interior mixing and posited that this is a result of intrinsic non-tidal mixing mechanisms due to a similar observed behaviour in single stars. We investigated the high-frequency regime of KIC9850387 and found evidence of the surface effect as well as rotational splitting in the form of a prograde-retrograde dipole g$_{1}$ mode doublet with a missing zonal mode. We find that the dynamical parameters and the parameters extracted from the asteroseismic modelling of period-spacing patterns are only barely compliant, reinforcing the need for homogeneous analyses of samples of pulsating eclipsing binaries that aim to calibrating interior mixing profiles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-22T18:57:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pulsating eclipsing binary kic9850387", "asteroseismic modelling", "model-derived parameters", "constraints", "comparison" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
