Poster Title: Eclipsing Binary Stars and the Low-Mass Stellar Mass-Luminosity Relation
Abstract: The stellar mass-luminosity-radius relation for low mass Mdwarf stars is currently calibrated by only three detatched eclipsing binary stars and a handful objects observed with interferometric and adaptive optics techniques. We have surveyed 5 open clusters in the Galaxy in search of low mass eclipsing binary stars with known age, distance and metallicity through deviations in their relative light curves. We present results from this survey.
