The W Ursae Majoris systems : interpretation of light curves and line profiles

A method for the computer synthesis of theoretical light curves and like profiles for close binary stars in general has been developed and applied to the W Ursae Majoris stars. The geometry has been calculated using the centrally-condensed Roche model, for which a formulation in terms of cylindrical...
