Default Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

The luminosity is out of phase with velocity.

The phasing is far more complicated than you think..

Don't be so ****ing stupid. The phasing is more complicated than
*YOU* don't think, it isn't more complicated than *I* KNOW.


The phase of the maximum varies with distance becasue of the size of the delay
between pulse emissions.


ALL right...you fluked the wrong explanation....BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHY..... AND STILL DON'T.


My above statement is correct.

It stars out at exactly 90 ahead of the TRUE velocity and moves to a lesser
value with time. It also depends on the eccentricity of the orbit..


ALL wrong...you ****ed the wrong explanation....BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHY..... AND STILL DON'T.


Sorry, I was talking about circular orbits only here.

However the velocity that astronomers wrongly determine is exactly in phase
with the brightness curve. That's because they actually USE the brightness
curve to determine doppler shift.


****ing hopeless, ignorant tord.


Admittedly my above statement migh have made me sound like that. It certainly
doesn't apply to elliptical orbits.

For those, the phasing between brightness and TRUE velocity can be almost
anything between 0 and 360, depending on the yaw angle.
The main principle in all this is that brighness peaks are made up of light
that was emitted when the star was in the 'concave' section of the orbit wrt
the observer....ie., the far side, where maximum acceleration occurs TOWARDS
the observer.

The phasing moves considerably with distance.

Gawd, you **** me off sometimes, you think others are as ignorant
as you.


If you knew how to program properly you could see the effect yourself.


Arrogant pile of ignorant ****. **** off.
*plonk*


silly old pom. You are as confused as George.
You both seem to think an orbit is like a spinning wheel with lights fastened
at regular distances around its rim.

George seems to have disappeared since I drew his attention to his error.
