All right, I could have included another term u, denoting the speed of the
binary barycentre wrt earth. I usually leave that out because it is obvious and
doesn't affect brightness curves..
Do you still find this amusing, Wormey?...or do you think that all starlight is
magically adjusted by the fairies to travel towards little planet Earth at
precisely c?
I might remind you that even Einstein accepted the notion of 'approaching
speed' being other than c, as seen by a third observer. It is this approaching
speed that creates brightness curves.

All religion involves selling a nonexistant product to gullible fools. Einstein
cleverly exploited this principle with his second postulate.
