Taken together, red giants in eclipsing binaries (hereafter RG/EBs) that exhibit solar-like oscillations are an ideal testbed for asteroseismology. There are presently 15 known RG/EBs that show solar-like oscillations \citep{gau13,gau14}. All of these have orbital periods ranging from tens to hundreds of days, and are found in the \emph{Kepler} field of view.  % Overview of paper  In this paper, we present physical parameters for the unique RG/EB KIC 9246715, which contains two nearly-identical  red giants in a 171.3-day eccentric orbit. Only one set  ofthe two stars shows  solar-like oscillations(??), oscillations is present, however,  and with the oscillations show  a lower amplitude than expected. similar giants.  We find good agreement between photodynamic models and asteroseismology for the oscillating star's mass AND RADIUS???

In \S \ref{atm}, we disentangle each star's contribution to the spectra to perform stellar atmosphere modeling. We then present our final orbital solution and physical parameters for KIC 9246715 in \S \ref{model}. Finally, \S \ref{discuss} compares our results with those from asteroseismology and discusses the connection between solar-like oscillations and oscillations,  effects such as star spots and tidal forces. forces, and implications for future RG/EB studies.
