Abstract

Our knowledge of stellar evolution relies on constraints provided by measurements of the physical stellar properties such as the mass, effective temperature, and radii. The most fundamental parameter, the stellar mass, is rarely available or has a low accuracy, providing poor constraints on the stellar structure and evolution. Observing binary stars combining astrometry and spectroscopy offers the unique opportunity to measure very precise masses. In addition, double-lined spectroscopic binaries provide independent distance measurements with an extreme accuracy, allowing to test the Gaia parallaxes and the period-luminosity (P-L) relations. I will show that masses and distances with an accuracy level as high as 0.05% can be obtained by combining interferometric and spectroscopic observations for different types of binary systems, i.e. binary Cepheids, eclipsing and non-eclipsing binaries.
