Starspots and photometric noise on observed minus calculated (O–C) diagrams

A Kalimeris, H Rovithis-Livaniou, P Rovithis - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 - aanda.org
The effects of starspots on the O–C diagrams of eclipsing binaries are investigated, with a
special emphasis on contact binaries. It is shown that starspots modulate the O–C …
