Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

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

Floundering like what? I don't see any astronomers floundering.
What are you referring to?

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.

Because all measurements of the speed of light so far have
given the same value: c, not c+v.

Hey, idiot, there has never been a OW light speed measurement from a moving
source.

That speed is measured every
day many thousands, and probably many millions of times, by
people all around the world. If the value changed by even one
part in 1,000,000, it would be noticed immediately. If you can
point out any situation where the speed has been measured to
be c+v, please do so.

The value of the constant known as 'c' is measured regularly in TW experiments
in which the source and 'mirror' are mutually at rest.. The BaTh says that this
should be true.
The BaTh wins again.
