Henry whined to George:

Show me evidence from an eclipsing Cepheid that the
phase is that of ADoppler instead of VDoppler.

Name one eclipsing cepheid and I will.

AB Cassiopeia is an eclipsing binary in which a delta
Scuti type Cepheid is the primary. Also:

Luminosity curves are shown. Data was obtained in both V
and R and used in the analysis, but only the V curves are
shown in the paper.

Apparently some radial velocity data had been obtained but
full curves for both components of each system had not.
It was expected at that time that HST would obtain them
over the next several years.

Includes numerical luminosity values as well as curves.

It's terrible seeing mature astronomers floundering like this simply because
Einstein led them on a wild goose chase.

Why don't they just accept the obvious. Light speed is c wrt the source...c+v
wrt the observer.
