Why that particular non-rotating frame? For instance, why not one moving away
from the source?

You didn't use the right approach at all.
Light does NOT reflect from moving mirrors at the incident angle and speed.

:)

Consider a single photon emitted by the source. The source is moving wrt an
infinite number of non-rotating frames.
Why should the photon's speed magically adjust to c wrt one of them and not
another?

Paul, postulates mean nothing. They require a connection with the physics.

Not worth a response.

The rest of your comments are of the same quality.

If not there would be a beat and you would get a
sine wave envelope. What I have described so far
matches your "moving oboe" analogy.

Yes, it is that envelope shape with its tapering

that later.

Good, I'm trying to break it into factors where we

combine.

No, in the frame in which it is drawn.

If you look it up on the web, you should be able to
find the Fourier Transform of your envelope. You might
have some luck if you look up "windowing functions" in
the DSP (digital signal processing) field as they are
crucial in handling non-repetitive waveforms.

Sure, but then you Fourier transform it to find the
components.

It is the mirror that moves at c+v, the pretty pattern
behind it is irrelevant, and without another mirror
following behind, you need continuous power from the
source. The whole thing is nuts, but you could learn
a lot about Fourier analysis by ignoring that flaw and
working through the maths. Most of it you can find done
for you on the web.

I think you are ignoring the ADoppler component.

George, ADoppler produces most variable star curves... I think that is pretty

Whatever, if it is shielded by the planet, it
no longer causes slowing and the light arrive
earlier.

Whatever, if _any_ is shielded by the planet, it
no longer causes slowing and the light arrive
earlier.

The 0.01% shift could be ADoppler or VDopppler
or any mix, it doesn't matter. For K band from
2.0um to 2.4um, the shift is 0.2nm to 0.24nm
which is negligible compared to the 400um width.

Nope, you have proved there is no ADoppler for
pulsars or contact binaries and if you ever
analyses Cepheids properly, you wil find the
temperature and radius variation accounts for
all of the observed luminosity variation,
there is no ADoppler observed _ever_.

> I think that is pretty
> good evidence don't you....

Yes, it strongly suggests ADoppler doesn't exist
because it should be dominant pulsars and contact
binaries and at least significant in Cepheids yet
none is seen. It is academic though since ballistic
theory is already falsified by Sagnac, the Shapiro
Delay, Fizeau and others.
