Henri Wilson said to George Dishman:

I have agreed that the extinction distance appears to
depend on star period and star proximity.

And I have said that the light speed unification distance
is inversely proportional to rate of bunching. The more
rapidly the light bunches, the shorter the unification
distance. That applies to all light sources. It applies
to pulsars, white dwarfs, red giants, cepheids, and main
sequence stars. It applies to light sources bouncing back
and forth on springs. It applies to infrared LIDAR and
radio-frequency RADAR emitted by police speed measurement
devices and reflected from moving vehicles. It applies to
light and radio signals sent from or received on aircraft
in flight. It applies to radio signals from satellites in
Earth orbit, rovers on the surface of Mars, and Cassini
orbiting Saturn.

The more rapidly the light bunches, the shorter the
unification distance. Always.

The rate of bunching is proportional to the radial acceleration
at the section of the orbit where the pulses/photon were emitted.

Yes, we already know that. I was pointing out something
that you appear not to have picked up on yet.

For orbits with the same eccentricity, that is also proportional
to the peripheral velocity at the same phase. (for instance at
periastron)

Again, we already know that. I was pointing out something
about the unification distance that you apparently still
haven't noticed.

well please spell it out in a way that we can all understand..



Another way of achieving exactly the same result is to
plot all of the individual measurements and then draw a
smooth curve which most closely matches the data points.

What has this to do with extinction?

Nothing. I commented on two different things in my post.
The first was the dependence of extinction distance on the
rate of bunching, while the second was your concern that
averaging of measurements taken over a number of cycles
sounds pretty suspect to you.

I haven't the faintest idea what it is you are trying to tell us.

This is the problem. Accorbing to the BaTh, it appears that the unification
distance of light from short period binaries is a lot less than that from long
period ones. This may not even be true but if it is, I want a physical
explanation...can you provide one?
