George, you stated above: ">c) In the lab frame, the difference between the speed of "> the rays and the speed of the source is c+/-v." That means, "in the lab frame, the rays appear to be moving at c+/-v wrt the source. That's all I require to back up my BaTh variable star theory. >George > www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/index.htm The difference between a preacher and a used car salesman is that the latter at least has a product to sell.

Yes for very close distances that is correct....but for nearly all distant stars with periods greater than a few days, the VDoppler term is negligible. I thought I made it clear that the VDoppler contribution will determine the phase shift between velocity and brightnes curves. >George > www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/index.htm The difference between a preacher and a used car salesman is that the latter at least has a product to sell.
