Decomposing Interacting Binary Light Curves: The Eclipses of the Mean Light, Secular Variability and Flickering in RW Tri
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We describe a new method of orbital light curve decomposition which is applicable to long-term photometry of interacting binaries. This method determines the orbital dependence (including eclipses) of the mean light, secular variability and RMS flickering. We identify the true line of centres of RW Tri and find that the accretion disc is a location of secular variability and a source of flickering.
