Red-giant stars are an incredible source of information for testing models ofstellar evolution, as asteroseismology has opened up a window into theirinteriors. Such insights are a direct result of the unprecedented data fromspace missions Kepler and CoRoT as well as recent theoretical advances.Eclipsing binaries are also fundamental astrophysical objects, and when coupledwith asteroseismology, binaries would provide two independent methods to obtainmasses and radii and exciting opportunities to develop highly constrainedstellar models. The possibility of discovering pulsating red giants ineclipsing binary systems is therefore an important goal that could potentiallyoffer very robust characterization of these systems. Hitherto, only 1 case hasbeen discovered with Kepler. We cross-correlated the detected red-giant andeclipsing-binary catalogs from Kepler data to find candidate systems.Light-curve modeling and mean asteroseismic properties are combined to yieldmeasurements of periods, masses, radii, temperatures, eclipse timingvariations, core rotation rates, and red-giant evolutionary state. Afterelimination of false positives, out of the 70 systems common to the red-giantand eclipsing-binary catalogs we find 13 new strong candidates that arepulsating red giants in eclipsing binaries, and 10 more that are pulsating redgiants in hierarchical triple systems. The systems span a range of orbitaleccentricities, periods, and spectral types for the red-giant companion. Onecase even suggests a system composed of two red-giants. The discovery ofpulsating red giants in multiple systems provides exciting test beds forprecise astrophysical modeling, and follow-up spectroscopic observations of thecandidate systems are encouraged.
