Scientific paper

The aim of the present note is to point out that observations of eclipsing variables within minima do not, in general, allow a separation of the quadratic terms of limb-darkening from the first-order effects of the gravity-darkening of distorted components undergoing eclipse. Only a difference of the two can be deduced from the observations, but — especially in close binaries — the net effect will be dominated by gravity-darkening.
