Abstract
Enhanced unity in binary system observables models is discussed, including development strategy and connections between morphology and solutions. Distance estimation can be made direct (one step) via simultaneous light/velocity solutions that incorporate a simple flux-scaling procedure. Potential importance of time-variable polarization work is emphasized, especially for Algols, with mention of needed improvements in polarimetric analysis and reporting of data. Recent developments in general all-data (light, velocity, etc.) ephemerides are reviewed, with projections for further generalization, and ideas and formalisms for analysis of period change events (perhaps discontinuous) are introduced. Advantages and practical problems of unified [light, velocity, pulse arrival time] analyses for X-ray binaries, possibly constrained by measured X-ray eclipse durations, are discussed.
