Detached double-lined eclipsing binary detected in the star forming region NGC 2264

Astronomers have performed a photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaign of the star-forming region NGC 2264. As a result, they found that this region hosts a detached double-lined eclipsing binary, which comprises two pre-main sequence M dwarfs. The finding is reported in a paper published April 9 on the arXiv pre-print server.
