Authors:
Describes a systematic framework for analyzing eclipsing binary stars, now with extensions to exoplanets
Only book that focuses on mathematical models for light curves of eclipsing binary stars and algorithms for generating these models
Appendices go deeper in mathematical detail on matters such as optimization, coordinate systems and specific models
This second edition includes new physics in light curve models and distance fitting and provides new applications and fully updated references
