Scientific paper

We have calculated the effects of libration on the light curve of a
close binary system, using a simple model. The model indicates that the
libration can produce significant effects, of the order of 10% of the
modulation in magnitude due to corotation. This has implications for
systems of current interest such as X-ray binaries.
