KIC 3858884: a hybrid<i>δ</i>Scuti pulsator in a highly eccentric eclipsing binary
The analysis of eclipsing binaries containing non-radial pulsators allows: i) to combine two different and independent sources of information on the internal structure and evolutionary status of the components, and ii) to study the effects of tidal forces on pulsations. KIC 3858884 is a bright Kepler target whose light curve …
