Abstract
In the preceding chapters of this book our aim has been to outline the ways in which an application of the Roche model can facilitate an interpretation of the proximity effects exhibited by close binary systems that may become observable by photometric or spectroscopic means. Because of their distance, such celestial objects can, at all times, be observed as single picture points; and the aim of the investigator can be to develop the information contained in the variable properties of such points which, to the mathematicians, would represent “stationary time series”. For the observer, such a task can be best approached by a comparison of the observations with suitable models which should represent such observations; and the reasons have already been put forward before why the Roche model should represent a tool eminently suitable to this end.KeywordsRadial VelocityOrbital PlaneDirection CosineLocal Thermodynamic EquilibriumLight ChangeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
