When you did the analysis taking that into account, the luminosity relative to the eclipse was in phase with VDoppler, not ADoppler, and the eclipse accounts for all of the luminosity variation. >>> Many are just orbiting stars with eccentricity around 0.5 and their >>> perihelions >>> closest to Earth. >> >>You backed down on that claim, had you forgotten? > > I certainly did not. > I said it is almost impossible to tell fom a light curve if a star is > genuinely > eclipsing or not. Fine, the point remains, the binary we looked at in detail is 90 degrees out of phase with ADoppler and all the others have been studied to see what can be learnt from the detailed shape of the curves regrading their separation and to what degree they are 'overcontact'.

Irrelevant, the shift _is_ 0.01% whatever causes it and 0.01% one part in 1600 of 6000K is less than four degree.

Not with your new "radiation pressure" model, it gets increased on both sides of the planet. > However D/(c+v) + D/(c-v) = 2Dc/(c^2-v^2).....so the time taken is always > greater than D/c. Nope, without the planet it is 2 * D/(c-v1) where v1 is due to direct sunlight. With the planet it becomes D/c + D/(c-v1+v2) where v2 is due to the reflected light. It is obvious even qualitatively that both effects cause it to arrive earlier and that is on top of the ballistic effect which also makes it earlier.

Oh I know vastly better than you ever will, and I also know that since you only use a subset of the available data (e.g. no pulse amplitudes) you need a phase reference. By all means do a proper analysis if you think you can but so far the only systems we have studied have shown no ADoppler whatsoever. Don't keep slapping your gums, just put up or shut up. George
