Ah, I see your problem.

You aren't taking account of the sequential emission delays between the
'pulses'. That is fundamental to the bunching calculations.

You are assuming they are all emitted at the same instant.


you do realize that, for the velocities involved in your typical variable
star, the delta v (change in velocity of the emission source) between the
'front end' and the 'back end' of the photon, during the time it takes to
emit a photon, is essentially zero, don't you?

[this is true whether one considers the photon length to be the same as the
wave length or millions of wavelengths.]
