TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe a model for the accurate analysis of eclipsing binary light curves, which accounts for the important geometric and photometric distortions such as rotational and tidal distortion, gravity brightening, and reflection effect.Abstract:
The accurate analysis of eclipsing binary light curves is fundamental to obtaining information on the physical properties of stars. The model described accounts for the important geometric and photometric distortions such as rotational and tidal distortion, gravity brightening, and reflection effect. This permits a more accurate analysis of interacting eclipsing star systems. The model is designed to be useful to anyone with moderate computing resources. The programs, written in FORTRAN 4 for the IBM 360, consume about 80k bytes of core. The FORTRAN program listings are provided, and the computational aspects are described in some detail.read more

Homogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets – I. Light-curve analyses
TL;DR: In this paper, a homogeneous analysis of the transit light curves of 14 well-observed transiting extrasolar planets is presented, where the light curves are modelled using jktebop, random errors are measured using Monte Carlo simulations and the effects of correlated noise are included using a residual-permutation algorithm.

The Pre-Main-Sequence Eclipsing Binary TY Coronae Australis: Precise Stellar Dimensions and Tests of Evolutionary Models
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute dimensions of the primary and secondary stars are derived from the light-curve solution and their previous spectroscopic data, and the masses are found to be M1 = 3.16 ± 0.02 M☉ and M2 = 1.64 ± 0.01 M☩, the radii are R1 = 1.,80 ± 0.,10 R☩ and R2 = 2.08 ± 0,14 R☉, the luminosities are L1 = 67 ± 12 L
