Abstract
The efficient light-curve synthesis computer code EBOP is described. The model is purposely tied to light-curve defmed parameters rather than “astrophysical” ones. The major applications of the model during the past 10 years have been to well-detached eclipsing systems where proximity effects are minimal. Such systems provide well-defined stellar parameters because of their simplicity. Astrophysical parameters can be inferred from empirically calibrated surface fluxes and standardized colors of the components. Improvements to the code have been implemented and others are planned, largely as a result of continued use and suggestions by the astronomical community.
