Default Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

BTW, have you spotted the deliberate mistake in my
recent postings? It will be interesting to see if
Henry can spot it (even with this hint) but don't
give it away if you have ;-)

Yeah, I thought at first it was a typo.

It was a genuine mistake.
I drew his attention to it.


One was genuine but I noted there were two, you
only asked if they were genuinely "deliberate".
You didn't spot either and so far you still
haven't found the deliberate one.


Like I said, just about everything you write appears as a mistake.


I know you have trouble following much of
it, I try to explain it as simply as I can
but you need to make an effort too.

Which one
will I point to...


There is only one other but since you can't
see it I suppose I'll have to tell you. The
rough figures I gave used the ratio of the
peak-to-peak variations. For K band where
the radius and luminosity are in phase that
is valid but for V band the curves are
different so you should really plot the
ratio then take the peak. It makes little
difference though and would have been a lot
more effort.
