| Description: |
This book covers the formulation of mathematical models for the light curves of eclipsing binary stars and the algorithms to generate such models. This edition has new physics in light curve models and distance fitting, new applications and updated references. |
| Synopsis: |
Astronomers learn much of what they know about the mass, brightness, and size of stars by observing binary systems, in which two stars orbit each other, periodically cutting off the others light. This book provides astronomers with a guide to specifying an astrophysical model for a set of observations, selecting an algorithm to determine the parameters of the model, and estimating the errors of the parameters. |
