Abstract

The CoRoT and Kepler satellites were the first space platforms designed to perform high-precision photometry for a large number of stars. Multiple systems display a wide variety of photometric variability, making them natural benefactors of these missions. I review the work arising from CoRoT and Kepler observations of multiple systems, with particular emphasis on eclipsing binaries containing giant stars, pulsators, triple eclipses and/or low-mass stars. Many more results remain untapped in the data archives of these missions, and the future holds the promise of K2, TESS and PLATO.<br />Comment: Invited review for the CoRoT Symposium 3 / Kepler KASC-7 joint meeting, Toulouse, July 2014. To be published by EPJ Web of Conferences. Version 2 corrects errors with 4 references, and also changes the format for all references because they were not indexed by NASA ADS
