Fourier analysis of the light curves of eclipsing variable stars
TLDR
In this paper, the authors established the explicit forms of the photometric perturbations, in the frequency-domain, of close binaries, whose components are distorted by axial rotation and mutual tidal action.Abstract:
The aim of the present paper is to establish the explicit forms of the photometric perturbations, in the frequency-domain, of close binaries, whose components are distorted by axial rotation and mutual tidal action. Following a brief introduction, Section 2 describes the light changes and the photometric perturbations within eclipses in the frequency-domain. In Section 3 the explicit forms of the perturbations for occultation eclipses terminating in totality are given; while in Section 4 analogous results are established for transit eclipses terminating in annular phases. In this latter case the results can be expressed in terms of the photometric perturbations for total eclipses and in terms of some series. To facilitate applications to actual stars these series have been computed and their results are represented in Table I and by the Graphs. Finally, Section 5 gives a discussion of the results. An extension of the photometric perturbations to the case of partial eclipses will be given in a subsequent communication.read more

The system VV Ori and the consistency of photometric analysis of eclipsing binary light curves
E. Budding,N. N. Najim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, extensive, homogeneous and automatically obtained OAO-2UV data on VV Ori at six different wavelengths, as presented by Eaton (1975), are subjected to detailed numerical analysis, and the extent of derivable information on this star from such photometry is critically assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the results obtained in the preceding papers for the development of practical procedures for obtaining the elements of any eclipsing system from the observed photometric data by their analysis in the frequency-domain, for any type of eclipses, any proximity of the two components, and any degree of the law of limbdarkening of the eclipsed star.

The geometrical elements of 10 totally-eclipsing systems of the type of W Ursae Maioris
Sabeeh R. Jabbar,Zdeněk Kopal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the geometrical elements of a group of totally-eclipsing close binary systems of W UMa-type, evaluated in the frequency-domain by a method developed recently by one of us (Kopal, 1982a, b) which takes account of photometric effects caused by mutual distortion of the components within eclipses, are presented.

Fourier analysis of the light curves of eclipsing variables. I
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to the analysis of the light changes of eclipsing binary systems in the frequency domain is proposed, and the authors point out its merits in comparison with a conventional treatment of the same problem in the time domain.

Fourier analysis of the light curves of eclipsing variables, II
TL;DR: In this article, the Fourier methods of analysis of the light curves of eclipsing binaries were extended in connection with systems whose components would appear as uniformly bright discs, to system whose components exhibit discs characterized by an arbitrary radially-symmetrical distribution of brightness.

TL;DR: In this article, Kopal et al. developed a method for the analysis of light changes of eclipsing variables in the frequency-domain, developed in their previous papers (Kopal 1975a, b, c, d) for an interpretation of mutual eclipses in systems consisting of spherical stars, have now been extended to analyse the light variations between minima as well as within eclipses.
