Photometric Observations of Eccentric Accretion in Algol-type Binary Stars

Photometric Observations of Eccentric Accretion in Algol-type Binary Stars

Some Algol-type interacting binary stars exhibit strange photometric variations that can be phase-dependent and/or secular. This paper discusses the possibility of explaining these observed variations as resulting from an accretion structure eclipsing one or both of the stars. Some previous studies...
