Ahoj Petře a ostaní,
pokusím se tento mail psát v kódování ISO-8859-2, takže to snad přečtou
i win-based čitatelé.
Ten systém je skutečně velmi zajímavý, podobně, jako všechny zákrytové
kataklyzmy. Z přesné fotometrie zákrytů lze studovat rozložení jasu v
akrečním disku, měřením obritální periody a periody případných
superhumpü pak ještě navíc nějaké daší parametry... Je to na delší
psaní. Má-li někdo zájem, mohu napsat víc. Jinak má-li někdo techniku,
doporučuji to zkusit, protože Patterson je znám tím, že výsledky rychle
publikuje a i když se s vámi asi nebude moc bavit, rozhodně je to poučné
- zkuste.
Díky za dobrý nápad Petře, podobné zajímavé výzvy bychom zde mohli
uveřejňovat častěji. Budu na to pro příště myslet a když mi něco přijde,
přepošlu to sem s komentářem.
