Analyses of eclipsing binary systems can routinely achieve precisions of 1-3% with robust analysis of high-quality datasets. However, it is growing increasingly evident that there are large systematic uncertainties in the accuracy of the analysis techniques used to measure those stellar properties for eclipsing binary systems. We therefore also will organize a data challenge (occurring before, during, and after the meeting) wherein each participating team will analyze uniform, high-volume datasets that test our analysis methods and illustrate best practices for the field to adopt going forward.

We anticipate that the final product of this splinter will be a journal article summarizing the results of the data challenge and best practices for reducing analysis-driven variance in results. All teams participating in the challenge will be invited to join this article.
