photometric bin Flashcards
what are photometric bin?
role of inclination
EA, EB, EW
eclipsing ALgol type: no contact
eclipsing beta lyrae type: contact
eclipsing W Ursae Majoris type: contact bin w CE
prob with ground based obs?
AM
reddening
advantage of ground based obs?
cheap
solution to AM?
comparison star see if variablity is same
conditions fro comparison star?
close by
similar temp
same color (to same reddening effect)
other uses of photometric analysis
exoplanet
asteriod
telescopes observing for photometric analysis?
problem w space based obs.
expensive (data transfer, fewer missions)
light reflection
cosmic rays
parameters derived
roche potential from mass ratio
types od attachment
detached
contact
overcontact
effect of tidal interactions?
circular orbits
synchronised rotation
how different lightcurve effects help derive orbital parameters?
lc variation w orbital period fro ref, ellipsoid?
ref– sine– orbital period
ellipsoid sine– orbital period / 2
parametres info from ellipsoid
ellipsoid deformation is based on tidal forces, roche geometry:
q– deformation (obs in lc) propotional to mass ratio
a– semi major axis inv propotional to distortion
R
what is Gravity darkening
tidal forces or fastrotation can make equator more stretched out, T_pole> T_equator
what do limb darkening and gravity darkening look like in lc?
limb darkening – rounded curve in eclipse minima
what lc effect grav darkenig can be obs with?
ellipsoidal effect
what is Gravitational lensing & Gravitational self-lensing ?
gravitational lensing, why flux inc? why lc top curve rounded?
ellipsoid– why sinosidal variations are asymmteric?
relatistiv beaming
in space based missions– flux amplified for blue-shifted. asymmetric amp–
sd + wd
which lc variation effect produces diagnostic parameters ?
which dont?
Do:
eclipses: R
relatistic beaming: lc -> R_V
ellipsoid (q, R/a)
Don’t:
grav lensing?
reflection?
