For BaTh, the width of the actual pulses DOES NOT change after emission.
The spacing between them DOES.....because they are moving at different
speed wrt the Bcentre.


Henri, what you are saying would be true if the pulses were zero width in
time.


But as they, in essence, long trains of photons, emitted over a significant
lenth of time, the entire 'pulse' would be compressed just as George is
telling you.

The pulses get narrower and closer together. The 'duty cycle' (ratio of
time on to time off) would remain constant.
