AI Hydrae: Revisiting our pulsator friend

TESS has provided us with an unprecedented quality of light curves (LCs), enabling us to study variability at the mmag level. We utilize the high quality 2-min cadence data for the target AI Hydrae to study this eclipsing binary and its delta Scuti pulsator component. We model the light curve using JKTEBOP, simultaneously fitting sinusoidal and polynomial functions to account for the LC variability caused by the pulsations and other trends. This modelling is complimented further by frequency analysis of the out-of-eclipse regions in the LC and analysis of spectra observed at different orbital phases using HIDES spectrograph. This helps us obtain accurate values of orbital and stellar parameters with robust errors. Additionally, plans of investigating the pulsations from an asteroseismic angle will help us shed some more light on the properties of this delta Scuti pulsator.
