In this video I will explain the conditions that makes and different types of eclipsing binaries.

How can 3 people actually dislike this? These are beautiful videos that show how light behaves! Astrophysics is to me basically the study of sunlight and it´s one of the most beautiful things in existence!!
Hi Michel... truly enjoyed this VIDEO!! thank you.... back in Fall of 1979 I was at Michigan State University. I signed up for a Graduate level Astronomy Course. It involved me going to the Observatory that MSU owned on it's country Property.. I had to spend NIGHTS at the Observatory Monitoring the Telescope and it's Data Collection of an ECLIPSING BINARY START SYSTEM!!!.. :) ... That data was passed on to my Professor as he derived the Period and varying Luminosity of the System..... SO.. as you can see... This was a wonderful video that took me back in TIME... :) Thanks again..... by the way.. I was 25 years old at the time and went back to College to earn my degree.... so, I''m NOT your typical Student watching your videos..
Being part of actually observing and collecting the data must have been quite an experience. Your input and insight into the videos over the years has been refreshing and quite entertaining at times.
Hi Michel! Thank you for the astrophysics videos. You really have to do more of them, there are very few of this kind of videos in Internet.
Hi Mr Michel thanks for the astrophysics lesson now I UNDERSTAND about eclipsing
Glad you liked it. 🙂
Just wanted to mention here ... The comment posted above is my son Adhi he is 10 year old ..
It is great that your son is interested in astronomy at such a young age!
I truly hope you managed to compete this playlist. I will be going through it all and learning. As I hope to become an Astrophysicist. If not, maybe a project worth continuing!
We do have plans to complete it, but we have a lot of topics we are currently working on.
@@MichelvanBiezen I’m extremely excited! I believe in you! Is there a way I can donate to support? I am not blessed with large sums of money, though I am a hard working man. I’d be overjoyed to offer a monthly amount in exchange for this level of education.

Thanks!
Hello sir . Your videos are very helpful
Glad to hear that 🙂
Thank you sir
You are welcome. Glad you liked it. 🙂
Great video
Thanks!
Hello Michel. Can you explain, or can someone else explain why the light dip from the small star transiting across the face of the big star is bigger than the light dip from the small star going around the 'far' side? It should be the other way around shouldn't it? Thanks
In an exoplanet transit, your scenario makes sense because the exoplanet has very low luminosity, but in the case of two stars I think the relative dip in the size relates to the magnitude of the two stars? It's probably an incidental point but it caught my attention. Am I right, or am I missing something?
It actually depends on the relative surface temperatures of the 2 stars. If the larger one is hotter, the intensity per square meter will be higher from the big star and thus when the small star goes in front, the total light reaching us will drop. If they are both main sequence stars, the larger one will be hotter. Thus the drop of covering up part of the big star is greater than the drop due to not seeing the small star.
@@MichelvanBiezen ok got it. Luminosity goes as M to the 3.5 therefore eclipse of massive MS star would be more 'effective' than eclipse of minor MS star. Thanks!
