Translation by Google Translate. Although there are many slips, the
gist of the article is readily understandable.

Algol B orbits Algol A: an animation of 55 images of the CHARA
interferometer, which were grouped according to the orbit. Because
some stages are covered poorly, B jumps at some points along its path.
[Baron]
http://www.oculum.de/newsletter/astro/100/60/2/2-02_algol_movie.gif

The eclipsing binary β Persei alias alias Devil star Algol is the
first ever discovered variable star, where it is unclear whether this
was recognized in antiquity, the Middle Ages and in 1667 in Italy for
the first time safely. But whatever about the end of the 18th Century
found that the brightness variations of Algol between 2, and 3 m1, m4
are strictly periodic. Another hundred years later clarified by means
of spectroscopy that there are two stars orbit on a narrow path and
the darker the brighter regularly covered. Since then, many
astronomers have sought to elucidate the detailed prototype Algol
system that turned out to be even as a three-fold: It finally
succeeded with the optical interferometer NPOI, all three stars
spatially resolve. And the optical interferometer CHARA on the
California Mount Wilson has now enabled even better: Thanks baselines
of up to 331m between the six 1-m telescopes and modern methods of
interferometric analysis is not only the physical parameters of the
famous variable better than ever been determined. There was even a
real "film" are created from two-dimensional reconstructed images, in
which the extremely tight pair of star Algol A / B in fast circles
around each other. It is clear to see that B - has robbed most of its
mass from A - moved noticeably in the length: This star filled - which
had been developed for a long time indirectly - its Roche limit of
broadly ovate.

Further evaluations should provide even sharper images of the stars
and maybe even details of their surfaces. But in a totally different
direction the Algol research may just found it: In a 3200 year-old
Weissagungskalender from ancient Egypt, every day is divided into
three eight-hour periods. Each of these periods has in the calendar
either the attribute "" good "or" bad. Finnish physicists have
analyzed these periods and are met with a periodicity of 2.85 days,
which - according to that of the synodic orbit of the moon - is by far
the strongest. The value is suspiciously close to the current 2.87
days in the period of Algol: Did the Egyptians already knew his
variability and determine the period - and the difference is
significant even today? The increase in the period in the course of
time - as a consequence of the mass exchange of A and B - in any case
would be incorrect.

So the Algol system saw on 12 August 2009 from: no artistic
representation but a true two-dimensional image with 1/2 milli-
arcsecond resolution in the near-infrared H-band, reconstructed from
data of the CHARA interferometer. The elongated appearance of Algol B
and the round of Algol A are real, in the form of C, however, is an
artifact of Algol. [Baron et al.]

Bad luck Jerry. 'Algol B' is obviously not a star. It is black in the middle.

So what is it? A fake?

Correction. I missed this in the paper. The authors attribute this to gravity darkening. In a highly distorted star in a binary pair, the temperature varies significantly over the surface, following a T ~ g^0.25 law. The effect has been known since 1924.(shrug on myself)

How predictable! Since the experimental observations do not support your theory, you conclude that they must have been falsified. (shrug)

I suppose you think this earlier movie of Beta Lyrae is fake as well?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Betlyr2b.theora.ogv

Just think, between these two papers on Beta Lyrae and Algol, you hypothesize a conspiracy involving at least 18 individuals over a period of at least four years. Three members of the 2008 team were replaced by three new members in 2012. How much money did it take to pay for their silence? (shrug)

It looks like a willusion due to c+v. ..an example of a double image.

Accounting for multi-wavelength light curves and spectra in addition to fitting single wavelength luminosity curves is, of course, something that you have never attempted in any of your fits.

How do you account for the difference in appearance of the Algol light curves from ultraviolet to infrared?

All of this would be quite amusing if it weren't such a pathetic example of scientific skullduggery. Do you understand what a tomograph is?
The little movie presented by Baron is not real. No array of telescopes has actually OPTICALLY resolved the two supposed binary stars making up Algol. The graphic is an inferred one, using spectral data and based on two assumptions. These are 1) that two orbiting stars exist and 2) that all light travels towards Earth at speed c.
The telescope array merely provided accurate data for observed spectra and brightness. After that, the poor indoctrinated astronomers tried to make sense of the facts presented to them, completely unaware of their willusory nature. After numerous highly suspect and unlikely statistical manipulations, they came up with something sufficiently sensational to arouse public interest, even if it was complete bullshit.

Four hundred years ago, the same process would have enabled Europe's pope to produce a movie of the sun spinning around god's own playing field, a flat Earth.

Jerry, the fact is, nothing we observe in space can now be taken for granted, particularly spectral data...and even period. Short period variables are both mysterious and extremely unlikely....or even impossible. The only reason to believe Algol's variation is linked to an orbiting object is the constancy of its orbit period but that could just as easily be related to the star's own rotation or even pulsation...
Two very important discoveries in my new BaTh are ADoppler and Time compression. Without an understanding of these, you will never be able to understand the difficulties faced by anyone trying to untangle the enormous mass of willusory data that is being fed to us by the great telescopes.

Not good enough.

Not at all. That is a totally fictitious rule that only a crackpot like you would make up to escape the fact that it is actually YOU who have lost.

Anybody who is interested (meaning practically NOBODY) can look up the history for themselves. Now stop being an idiot who loves strutting your ignorance.

The correct answer to this question is very well known to anybody who has spent even a few hours studying the subject. Obviously you do not fall into this group. Does BaTh provide an answer to this question? The answer SHOULD be within BaTh's domain of applicability.

Do not try to pretend that your inability to provide an answer actually represents a victory. Your attempted posturing to escape this fact provides nothing but amusement.

I knew you couldn't answer. You haven't a clue.

Obviously you do not fall into this group. Does BaTh provide an answer to this question? The answer SHOULD be within BaTh's domain of applicability.

Naturally BaTh will have an answer to any question.

You are being an arrogant idiot as usual. I gave you a big hint as to the correct answer: "Black body physics 101."

Algol A and B have different temperatures. Work out the rest of the answer for yourself. Conventional physics explains the variations in eclipse depth with wavelength easily and quantitatively.

Of course you won't follow up.

IR
 
Yes, infrared, not ultraviolet. Fucking hard to mistype that,
the u might be the next key to the i but the r is on a different
row to the v so its a cockup and not a typo as you are always
claiming
. You are not good enough to know IR and UV are at opposite
ends of the visible spectrum.

You could be right...but something doesn't add up.   
 
 
==========================================
It all adds up, neatly and exactly. Only your knee-jerk preconceptions,
arrogance and certainty in your own infallibility prevents you from
adding correctly.
I named my second planet orbiting delta-Cepheus “Cassandra” for a good reason. 

 When Cassandra of Troy told him she wanted to stay a virgin, Apollo placed a curse on her so that she and all her descendants' predictions would not be believed. She is a figure both of the epic tradition and of tragedy, where her combination of deep understanding and powerlessness exemplify the ironic condition of humankind.

Are agreeing that both dips are caused by eclipses or only the smaller one?
=============================================
The dip or dips (if the second dip really can be detected) are caused by
apoastron when the speed of light is c for the longest time. It is c+v on
one side of the dip and c-v on the other side. The dips are NOT eclipses.
I have always only modelled ONE light source because it is bloody
obvious two would create confusion as it has now. You have always
been the loose cannon wanting to model multiple sources. Now is
the time, model the light from one planet, red glowing Androcles
antiphase to Algol and remember to filter out the light from Algol
itself because telescopes have filters. Draw two SEPARATE curves.
But being a loose cannon you’ll look for a different target to shoot
at and hit your own foot as usual. 
And I have another reason why should do it. IF the IR has a different
speed to visible light it’ll show up as a phase shift between the dips.
DO NOT ASSUME all the curves you’ve seen show the correct
phase. Every velocity curve lacks its Julian date, whereas luminosity
curves show them. It’s damn nigh impossible to get the correct data
from curves and the bastards don’t publish tabulated data from their
notebooks. You can’t line up velocity curves with luminosity curves
without the right date, so you have to collect your own data with your
own telescope. That’s why curves are fucking useless whereas one
can construct a curve from tabulated data.
 I constructed this analemma from tabulated data:
Think 3D!

Here is one of the many postings:

Yes I know all about that. I lectured in it once.

But conventional physics cannot match the spectral data without making some pretty wild assumptions.
Androcles' explanation is more plausible except that his phasing might present a problem.

Have you ever wondered why the 'dip' in all your 'eclipse' curves has straight sides and ends in a fairly sharp point ...as BaTh predicts? Surely they can't ALL be
partial eclipses....surely some should feature a flat section at the bottom. Apparently all Einsteinian eclipses involve cubic stars of identical size :).

BaTh does have a model for Algol's curve but it takes some explaining.

Firstly, here is the range of available c+v curves, for a star with one planet and with no correction for intrinsic brightness variations.
www.scisite.info/fig3.jpg
They occur when the periastron of the star is closest to observer (+/- 10deg yaw as shown).
You will notice a slight downward curvature between the main dips, which is seen in some brightness curves (eg., U

Sge and U Cep).

If the complex consists of two objects in (or near) tidal lock, one side of each will be much hotter and
brighter than the other.
Thus, there should be natural changes in the curve as the objects move around depending on their relative sizes
and brightness....
The second object could be a star or, according to Andro, a large planet. If it is a star smaller than but of
similar luminosity to its companion, the BaTh prediction is for a curve of this nature:
www.scisite.info/betalyr.jpg.
Notice the in-phase peak of the smaller star at its own perihelion. There is only a partial eclipse if any, at the aphelion. U Sge and U Cep curves don't show evidence of any eclipse, according to BaTh.

The curve of Algol could be the result of a genuine eclipse if the spectral phasing can be matched but it also suggests that one dip is caused by a transit and the other by variable light speed.... or a combination of the two. But which causes which? The c+v dip occurs when the periastron is closest to Earth and the companion also at its periastron but at its furthest point. If the two objects eclipse each other at all, they would definitely do so at this point, when they are closest to each other. In that case, the 'c+v' dip would coincide with the loss of light from the hidden companion. That is probably OK because the sum of the two curves would be similar to each individual one.
However, this configuration would not account for the RISE in the curve between its major 'dips'.

My interpretation then is the the MAJOR dip is caused by the transit of a large object, with its cool side facing us. The MINOR dip is that caused by the summed effect of both c+v of the star at perihelion and the loss of predominantly IR light from the glowing side of the other object. This model produces the right type of curve.

So Androcles possibly got it right even if he didn't know why.

Paul likes to tell little stories. We were discussing pulsating stars at the time.
I merely pointed out that IR and visible light would, on average, come from different outer layers and therefore have different values of c+v at any instant.

You don't realize how pathetic your attempted rationalizations sound.

Your fit to beta Lyrae totally sucks, and your "range of available c+v curves" completely fails to accommodate Algol in the IR.

Not perfectly flat (due to limb darkening), but definitely flattened.

The problem, of course, is that you cannot switch BaTh on and off like a light switch. As soon as you accept that NLTT 11748 may be an eclipsing binary, you have the problem of why BaTh does not distort the light curve so that the resulting willusion doesn't look at all like the like curve of an eclipsing binary.

On the other hand, everything fits together provided that you assume constant c. The light curve of NLTT 11748 is then completely consistent with the measured Doppler velocity curve and the observed spectral changes. Constant c is by far the most parsimonious assumption.

Willusions do not exist. What we see is generally a good representation of what is real.

There is NO flat section on either.
Very rarely do we see flat sections in ANY published 'eclipsing binary' curves.
WHY IS THAT, Sambo?

As soon as you accept that NLTT 11748 may be an eclipsing binary, you have the problem of why BaTh does not distort the light curve so that the resulting willusion doesn't look at all like the like curve of an eclipsing binary.

Sambo, you obviously haven't tried to understand the intricacies of BaTh curve predictions. Conditions must be right within certain limits for effects to be observed.
In the case of genuine eclipsing binaries, the eclipse dip occurs at exactly the same phase as the BaTh prediction and is likely of similar shape....so the two merely add together to confuse the poor astronomers.

Humans have always assumed constant light speed in all earthly observations. Here, the errors are negligible. It doesn't require a great deal of imagination to realize that the willusions are not negligible over astronomical distances.
I have already proved that Einstein's P2 is impossible, in my thread about Tom Roberts.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHA! ...and only last year you laughed at me because I claimed that starlight originated from different layers well inside a star. Well this article shows how wrong you were.
If you read it through, you will also see that there are many instances of limb BRIGHTENING due to a reversed temperature gradient in many stars.

It all boils down to the fact that everything you say is bullshit. In fACT the whole of modern astronomy is bullshit because of Einstein.

If you knew what my theory says, you would not make such a claim. All light moving in a particular direction tends toward a common speed, making multiple imagery a very rare if not impossible event.
In truly EMPTY space, travelling photons MERGE with each other to form broad wave fronts.
